PSA, James St Food + Wine Trail Is Back This July
Wining and dining ahead
By Bianca Licina | 25th June 2024Hello fellow foodies, do we have news for you!
Brisbane’s hottest food and wine festival is back again for its twelfth year on the most glamorous street in Brisbane. That’s right, the James St Food + Wine Trail is returning this winter.
Over two delicious days this July, this scrumptious culinary celebration welcomes all local foodies to enjoy the culinary scene of this iconic precinct.
Showcasing James St’s leading hospitality landscape, the James St Food + Wine Trail will involve an array of in-venue events, menu pairings and activities as well as the beloved Market Day event on Sunday where the street will welcome a flurry of foodies to congregate in the name of food.
Market Day
From 10am to 5pm on Sunday, the community is invited to sample bites from James St venues in the roads, laneways, carparks, and alfresco spaces with live entertainment and kids activities. Think of it as one huge dining table. And best part? It’s free to enter!
With some hot new arrivals to the menu, like ēmmē, James & Antler, Agnus, and Sushi Room (featuring a live tuna carving display at 2pm), this year’s lineup is set to be a biggie.
