What To Do at Burleigh Festival?

Bring your picnic blanket and enjoy a deliciously flavourful afternoon. Burleigh Festival delivers the most refined cuisine Burleigh has to offer, paired with wines from world-class vintners.

Try Tommy’s Italian, especially if you are passionate about Italian cuisine and gorgeous produce. The Tommy’s team will go up to Burleigh Festival and provide a variety of their wood-fired pizzas, including vegetarian and gluten-free alternatives.

Visit Maman, a restaurant created by two of the loveliest mothers, Lizzy and Karen, for some delectable Mediterranean and Middle-Eastern dishes. Each dish uses the finest organic and local ingredients. The Moreton Bay Bug Roll, a local favourite and Maman specialty, will be one of the delectable snacks at this year’s Burleigh Festival.

Enjoy a glass of wine at Flor Wine & Grocer, where they responsibly source excellent local goods from the Gold Coast and Northern NSW and small handmade goods from across Australia. This year’s Burleigh Festival will feature a wine tasting hosted by Flor with only Project 76 wines and some of their favourite supermarket snacks and hors d’oeuvres.

Visit Delinquente Wine Co., one of the festival’s outstanding winemakers. The famous Tuff Nutt Bianco Pet Nat from the organic producers recognised for its tropical fizz and their citrus-forward Screaming Betty Vermentino will take centre stage.

The Burleigh Festival has music chosen by Boo Seeka and features local talent in addition to food and wine. But that is not all! 

Prepare for the Summer of Surf 5-on-5 Shootout on September 16 at Burleigh Heads Beach. Burleigh Boardriders King and Queen of the Point, which takes place on September 17 and 18 at Burleigh Hill, is another event to look forward to.
