Treat your tastebuds at Twilight Feast and Fest
Foodies and music lovers will have the opportunity to enjoy an evening under twinkling lights with live music, food trucks, and a boutique makers market when Twilight Feast and Fest returns on Friday, 6 September.
Held on the first night of the Laidley Spring Festival (6-8 September), this free family-friendly event will feature an expanded Friday night program so you can kick off your spring-inspired weekend in style.
Lockyer Valley Regional Council Mayor, Cr Tanya Milligan is encouraging families to dust off the picnic rug and join in the festivities.
“The Twilight Feast and Fest is an opportunity to throw out the picnic rug, treat your tastebuds to an array of delicious cuisines, purchase some beautiful wares from the local stallholders, and discover your new favourite band.
“Being on a Friday night, it’s the perfect opportunity to wind down after the week with your family and friends and enjoy this amazing much-loved festival, which is a highlight on Queensland’s tourism calendar,” Mayor Milligan said.
The night will kick off with the contemporary-folk melodies of local singer-songwriter Peta Pomerenke, who is known for her indie-folk and country sound. Headlining the main stage will be The 78 Sound, a powerhouse band of brothers from Queensland’s Darling Downs.
With dozens of food trucks on site, there will be plenty of dishes to choose from to satisfy your rumbling tummy and tastebuds. If you’re looking to take home a memento of your trip, be sure to browse the many market stalls selling everything from clothing through to jewellery, arts and crafts, toys, smallgoods, and more.
Twilight Feast and Fest will be held from 5-10pm at the Laidley Recreational Reserve, located on Whites Road, Laidley.
The Laidley Spring Festival is supported by the Queensland Government through Tourism and Events Queensland, and is made possible thanks to the Lockyer Valley Regional Council, Pohlmans Nursery, The Lockyer & Somerset Independent, and River 94.9.
