Sunshine Coast Asian Food Festival 2025

A hero event of The Curated Plate, the Sunshine Coast Asian Food Festival 2025 serves up bold flavours, vibrant culture, and an unforgettable culinary experience at Spicers Tamarind Retreat.

The festival returns this year and will be held across two days on 2–3 August 2025, celebrating flavours and community in Maleny.

Spread out a picnic blanket on our 18-acre property and graze your way through vibrant street-food style dishes and refreshing drinks. With the smooth sounds of live music and the lush rainforest as your backdrop, relax in the sunshine and connect with fellow food lovers in an afternoon full of flavours.

This year’s lineup brings together some of the best Asian restaurants on the Sunshine Coast. The Tamarind‘s acclaimed Culinary Ambassador, Daniel Jarrett, will be joined by the iconic Spirit House, local favourite Rice Boi, and artisan producer Maleny Food Co, each bringing their own twist on Asian cuisine using the freshest local ingredients and innovative techniques.

Curated beverage producers will complete the experience, featuring cocktails from Sunshine & Sons, Brouhaha Brewery, Brockenchack Wines, champagne from the House of Taittinger, and a selection of non-alcoholic beverages from Lyre’s.

Join us for a weekend of sensational culinary adventure.
