Businesses with a passion for local produce are invited to apply to be part of this year’s Taste Bundaberg Festival.
The 10-day celebration will take place from 5 to 14 September and feature a celebrity chef, farm-to-table experiences, markets and unique dining events.
Bundaberg Regional Council Events portfolio spokesperson Cr Steve Cooper said the festival served as a wonderful showcase for local food and drink businesses.
“The Taste Bundaberg Festival is not only a celebration of the region’s food bowl but also of the businesses that bring out the best in that produce,” Cr Cooper said.
“In fact, part of the application criteria is that 75% of the food served must be grown, caught, farmed or created within the Bundaberg Regional Council area.
“We invite anyone with a flair for local flavours to apply to host an event or market day stall and showcase their creations to residents and visitors from further afield.”
Event host and market stallholder applications are now open with applicants encouraged to review all the requirements and familiarise themselves with the event holder terms and conditions.
Submissions will require business details and event concepts as well as digital copies of supporting documents including a Public Liability Insurance Certificate, Food Licence Certificate and a Queensland Liquor Licence Certificate if applicable.
All applications will then be reviewed by the Taste Bundaberg Festival team.
A detailed description of how to apply is available here.
The Taste Bundaberg Festival is supported by the Queensland Government through Tourism and Events Queensland.
