Foodies are preparing their taste buds for a “tantalising 10 days” that will celebrate many of the Sunshine Coast’s culinary offerings – all rolled into one tasty event.

There will be opportunities to design a dream coffee blend, learn more about the plant-based cooking revolution or enjoy the longest of lunches in breathtaking settings.

The program has been revealed for the region’s celebration of food, nature and fellowship The Curated Plate, which is set to feature more than 100 events from over 300 local producers and suppliers.

The Cotton Tree Food Fair will be part of the festival.

From July 28 to August 6, the festival will unite 52 local businesses and event organisers.

Signature events on the program include the Sunshine Coast Asian Food Festival; MooloolaBARS, a one-day beer and beverage event across Mooloolaba venues and bars; and a free, family friendly From Paddock to Curated Plate event.

Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson said the home-grown festival would be a celebration of the region’s local produce.

“This culinary showcase’s point of difference was the stunning backdrops, set across the region’s diverse natural assets from the mountains to the sea,” Cr Jamieson said.

“I’m confident visitors and locals will be treated to some of the best food and tourism experiences in Australia at The Curated Plate on the Sunshine Coast.”
