The 12th Annual Sample Food Festival, a taste of Northern NSW, will be held at the Bangalow Showground in Byron Bay's hinterland.

Sample Food Festival celebrates the incredible produce, unique culinary experiences and creative talent of the local chefs, farmers and producers from the Northern Rivers.

The 2024 Sample Food Festival will feature a lineup of guest chefs, live cooking demonstrations and local restaurants offering a selection of AUD5 and AUD10 tasting plates on the day. Regional brewers and distilleries will be selling a range of beverages in a dedicated bar area and over 100 exhibitors will be showcasing a range of packaged food products, artisan breads and cheeses, homewares and gifts.

Sample Food Festival is proudly a family friendly event and features children's activities and a live music stage. There will be a series of workshops and pop-up events announced in the lead up to the festival as well as special guests.
