About the Tastes of the Tablelands Festival

The 2012 Tastes of the Tablelands Festival hosted by the Rotary Club of Atherton will be bigger and better than ever before. This event will once again be held at the Chinese Temple Grounds on Herberton Road on Sunday 16th September 2012 from 10am – 4pm. Once again visitors are encouraged to come dressed for a garden party as there will be great prizes for the best fashions of the day.

Visitors to the Tableland will be able to have the full food experience from the land to the table at this festival. Farmers from across the region will be selling their produce on the day allowing visitors to see fresh produce at its best. The Super Chefs Competition in the Cooking Tent will be the place to see this fresh produce turned into delicious meals by chefs of our region. In this area chefs from our region as well as apprentice chefs will cook it out to become the champion chef of the day. This competition runs all day and should not be missed.

Visitors can then wander through the many stalls that sell or display the many products of the Tableland area. This great festival will show its visitors how diverse the Tableland region is and what wonderful products can come from one region. This festival will truly be an experience where all the senses will be delighted.

As part of the chefs cooking competition we will be seeking the best sausage maker on the Tablelands. This competition is open to all butchers in the Tableland region.

This festival will also be a great place to relax, enjoy the local entertainment, sip on a glass of local wine (the site is licensed) and enjoy a lazy lunch.

At 2 pm the ladies will be able to view the latest fashions when Blue Lagoon resort wear presents their fashion parade.

Children will also have exciting things to see and do on the day as there is a special area set aside for the children who come to the festival.

So there will be lots to do, see, taste, smell and enjoy and for the entry price of $8.00 (children free) it will be money well spent on a Sunday. This entry fee also includes entry into the major prize draws that will be drawn all day.
