Tweed Foodie Fest was inspired after the 2011 inaugural "Foodie Friday" dinner party, which surprised organisers and attracted over 800 people.  The festival has since grown and now works hand in hand with Destination Tweed, under the Taste the Tweed Banner to promote the stunning local foods that we have on offer in the Tweed.

Agriculture and tourism are key building blocks of the Tweed Shire economy and this festival supports and promotes both. 

Despite agriculture being one of the main land uses in the Tweed Shire, much of the food produced here is not consumed locally, but exported to other regions.  As the population grows and the cost of petrol and other fossil fuel-based farm inputs increases, there will be inevitable flow-on impacts on food affordability, especially where it has to travel large distances from paddock to plate. 

Together we aim to educate both locals and visitors about where their food comes from, how it is produced and why it is important to support local industry.  It seeks to create fun experiences that provide a meaningful connection with food; whether through an informative farm tour, a cooking class or a delicious meal based of fresh, local and seasonal ingredients. 

Commence your journey in Wharf Street, Murwillumbah where you will receive your Taste the Tweed food trail map. Your map will take you on a culinary journey that will delight your senses.

Enjoy the ambience of the market place then go on a journey from restaurant to restaurant enjoying the tastes and talents of our town in a progressive dinner style. Murwillumbah's cafes and restaurants will offer $6 & $12 tasting plates showcasing the fresh produce and gastronomic diversity of the Tweed.
