Go Bananas At The River Feast!

Sunday, 30th March will see the culmination of the four-day Feast of the Senses Festival with the signature event, Australian Bananas River Feast, the biggest of all the events during the festival. Gates open at 9.00am on Sunday morning, and entry is free.

“We are thrilled that the Australian Bananas River Feast is almost here,” said committee President Rosi Jensen. “Our volunteer committee has worked incredibly hard to bring this event to the community, and it would not happen without the financial support of Australian Bananas and numerous other supporters, including the Cassowary Coast Council,” she said.

“We’re still looking for volunteers to assist the committee with set-up from 5am. Early birds can just turn up on the day to volunteer and will earn a free breakfast voucher. Just sign in at the volunteer tent first and remember to wear your closed-in shoes for safety.”

There will be an amazing array of food on offer, local produce, cooking demonstrations & tastings on the Brothers’ Leagues Club Canecutter Court stage and musical entertainment on the riverbank featuring local performers. There’s a great line-up of entertainment commencing at 9.30am.

The event will showcase arts, crafts, artisanal foods, and delicious treats, creating a vibrant tropical atmosphere. The highlight is the Rare & Tropical Fruit display by the Cassowary Coast Rare Fruits Association, sponsored by Paronella Park. Visitors can sample the fruits before bidding at the end-of-day auction. The marquee, sponsored by Murray Brothers, will host the display.

For families, the Feast of Fun Kid Zone at the skatepark end of the riverbank, sponsored by Soils First, offers inflatable rides, art and craft activities, and more. Rides are $5 each or $20 for an all-day wristband.

This amazing ‘top 10’ Queensland event is right on your doorstep, so don’t miss it!
