BRISBANE Seafood and Wine Festival

Every year in Brisbane Australia, something exciting and flavoursome erupts throughout the course of one weekend. Fresh fish, melt-in-your-mouth prawns, and decadent oysters come together with a variety of wine and musical performances to create. the Brisbane Seafood and Wine Festival.

A festival celebrating the best of Brisbane seafood restaurants, as well as the wines that perfectly complement the meals, the event attracts thousands every year. Held in Caxton Street in the inner-city suburb of Paddington, the Brisbane Seafood Festival is all about fresh seafood, good wine, and a good time.

Restaurants and cafes from around Brisbane set up stalls and eateries where attendees can sample fresh produce, or relax and enjoy a full meal and a drop of wine.

But the festival isn't only about Brisbane seafood. It's also about music, concerts, and live entertainment, all day and all night. Musical acts perform across two stages throughout the festival, providing the perfect backdrop to the event. In 2006, world-wide superstar Russell Crowe was one of the headlining acts, along with some Australian Idol favourites.

The festival is usually held in April, over the course of one weekend. Things start firing up around lunch-time and continue well into the night. It's fairly easy to get to, since Caxton Street is so close to Brisbane city. As well as feeding the masses, the festival gives the gold coin donation entry fee to charity.

Seafood is one of the best features of Australia, so head down to the festival that celebrates everything about it.
