Despite the chill that this time of year brings, it’s difficult to keep us folks of the Sunshine State indoors when the clear blue skies of winter call. And what better way to enjoy the sunshine than in one of Brisbane’s most iconic parks?
This July, Roma Street Parkland, will once again be host to Providore Park, the lush, gourmet eat and drink festival that brings together Brisbane’s boujeest foodies.
Open on the 13 and 14 July, Providore Park will take over the park in a tantalising weekend of top drops and tasty treats. Get the gang together to browse artisan food and drink stalls, take part in masterclasses, enjoy premiere pop-ups and sway to live music – did we forget to mention entry is totally free?
So, let’s get down to the deets, shall we? We’ve listed everything there is to see, do, and eat over this delicious weekend.
The Village
Entry: Free
Follow the trail of artisan food, drinks, and treats to a food lover’s paradise, taking over Roma Street Parkland. With dozens of stalls lining the sprawling grounds, you’ll have the chance to brush shoulders with the producers as you taste a range of cheese and chocolate, before stocking up on deli goods and pantry staples including jams, salumi, olives, and antipast.
