Brisbane’s Tastiest Street Party Is Returning To James St This July
Sunday sesh anyone??
By Bianca Licina | 24th June 2025Picture this: a crisp, sunny winter’s day, a cocktail in one hand, a plate of top-tier food in the other, and nowhere to be but the next mouth-watering stall. The DJ’s spinning, the vibes are high – this is the James St Food + Wine Trail, taking over the iconic strip once again on Sunday 27 July 2025.
A buzzing, open-air foodie playground with 26 of Brisbane’s best venues dishing up 170+ eats and sips across 40+ market stalls – we’re sold.
On the menu
It’s the kind of event where you’ll want to pace yourself (or not – no judgement). From Biànca’s cult-status Bomboloni to Sushi Room’s icy yuzu slushies and ESSA’s decadent fried chicken and caviar combo, this Sunday sesh is serving serious flavour. And yes, the iconic 100’s & 1000’s lamington from Jocelyn’s Provisions is back to steal the show.
Joining long-time legends like Gerard’s, Hellenika, ēmmē and The Green are fresh faces Hideki Izakaya and Penelope, with the whole precinct turning market mode on. Expect street-wide tunes, live chef demos from Sushi Room (tuna carving, anyone?), Gelato Messina, and Cru Bar, free kids’ fun (from 10am) and even cheeky staycay deals at The Calile for the full feast-and-flop experience.
It’s free. It’s fabulous. And it’s not to be missed. Just follow your appetite and hit the trail.
