Noosa Eat & Drink returned in 2025, and Deb Caruso tried to keep up with the appetising action.

In addition to five sold-out Signature Events and 25 mostly sold-out restaurant events, Noosa Eat & Drink’s Festival Village set out to be the most ambitious yet. Showcasing hundreds of hospitality leaders with over 60 food and dining stall pop ups, plus 25 immersive drink experiences, and countless cooking workshops with the industry’s finest, the two-day Festival Village in The Woods did not disappoint.

Noosa Eat & Drink Director John Guise said they were really happy with the festival overall this year, despite some damp weather.

“The feedback from guests has been amazing – it certainly didn’t dampen any spirits! Our Restaurant Program performed so well this year with the majority of events either sold out or very close to it,” he said. “All Signature Events, including our beach events and long lunches were sold out. And our Festival Village was really popular again with over 5000+ visitors across the weekend.”

Kudos to the cool kids who didn’t let a little rain limit their thirst for a good time and appetite for foodie adventures!

You brought the sunshine and smiles and our local chefs, restaurateurs producers, wonderful wait staff and more appreciate the love!

Cheers! See you next year!
