The popular Beachside Food and Wine Festival will return on Saturday 7 February 2026 from 4 to 9:30pm at the beautiful Rotary Park, which features a breath-taking panoramic ocean-view in Christies Beach.

Attendees are also able to indulge in the variety of food on offer, including a Cooking Demonstration.
All of this unfolds against a backdrop of sea breezes and sweeping ocean views, offering the perfect way to unwind on what’s forecast to be a warm summer evening with temperatures expected to be in the early 30s.

Explore the market stalls bursting with unique treasures in fashion, jewellery, art, pottery and more, showcasing the exceptional talents of local artists and artisans. Be sure to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the event with live entertainment including music and performances across three stages, comprising of Woodfolk Music and Lucas Day Band, as well as other fantastic local acts. There is even a Silent Disco to partake in and embrace the festival spirit!

The fest has gratefully embraced the going green and sustainability motif with Reusable eCups replacing the single-use containers. These will be available at both entrance tents for $5 and are to be reused or replaced throughout the day. The eCups are required for alcohol purchases only, and can be taken home for reuse at next year’s event. For those bringing their own water bottles, the SA quench bench is onsite for FREE water refills.

Mark your calendars, gather your friends and family, and prepare to be captivated by an experience that offers the perfect blend of flavours and magnificent surroundings.

Whether you’re coming for the wine, the food, the markets or the music, Beachside Food and Wine Festival offers a relaxed summer evening by the sea for friends, families and festival lovers alike.
