Food lovers, sharpen your appetites — The Curated Plate is back for 2025, and organisers have just unveiled a mouth-watering second course of events for what’s shaping up to be the Sunshine Coast’s biggest and most exciting culinary celebration yet.
With more than 60 unique events now confirmed, this year’s program stretches from the rolling hills of the hinterland to the sparkling coastline, offering everything from peaceful sunrise picnics and chef-led cooking classes to luxurious long lunches and intimate farm-to-table dinners.
Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli said the festival proudly highlights the true spirit of the region’s vibrant food culture and community.
“The Curated Plate is all about celebrating our local food and agritourism industries and inviting both visitors and locals to experience the incredible array of local produce, talented chefs, and warm hospitality the Sunshine Coast has to offer,” she said.
Running from July 25 to August 3, the 10-day program spans a smorgasbord of cuisines — from native bushfoods and modern Australian to Mediterranean and South East Asian — all spotlighting local ingredients.
New highlights include Coast to Hinterland: A Wine Tasting Experience in Maleny (July 26), and Jazz on a Plate in Kenilworth (August 2).
