The Curated Plate

The Curated Plate, Queensland’s premium food festival, is back in 2025 with dates confirmed for 25 July to 3 August 2025. Chef, Author and TV Presenter Peter Kuruvita is onboard as the festival’s Culinary Director this year and work is underway for the event to be the biggest celebration of local flavours across the Sunshine Coast. The annual festival celebrates the Sunshine Coast’s food and drink offerings including its abundance of fresh locally grown produce, seafood and meat. With around 30 events expected to make the 2025 program, the festival runs over 10 days and will this year celebrate a range of cuisines, local producers, chefs and restaurants. Previous year's events have included a two-day Asian food extravaganza on the lawns of Spicers Tamarind, exclusive dinners, cooking classes, farm tours, markets, a mad hatter tea party and Indigenous food experiences and much more. The event program and ticket release dates will be shared on The Curated Plate website and social media channels in the coming months.
