The Norwood Food & Wine Festival is back with a fresh twist, featuring live entertainment, delicious food, and top-notch South Australian wines. This year, the festival aims to showcase South Australia's culinary experiences in true South Australian style. With a lively 'festival of footy' atmosphere and a headline act to draw in the crowds, this event is not to be missed.
Set to take place on Sunday, April 7th, from 11am to 8pm, the Norwood Food & Wine Festival will span a significant stretch of The Parade, from Portrush Road to Osmond Terrace. Coinciding with the second AFL Gather Round match at Norwood Oval, where Richmond will be taking on St Kilda, this festival promises a day of excitement both on and off the field.
One of the highlights of the festival will be a performance by Australian indie act, The Temper Trap. Known for being the only band to have ever performed at two AFL Grand Finals, they will be headlining an impressive lineup of live entertainment. Festival-goers can also expect to indulge in the best of South Australian food, wine, and produce, as local bars, cafes, and restaurants join forces with the state's top wine, beer, and spirit producers.
A Gastronomic Extravaganza
The Norwood Food & Wine Festival aims to tantalize taste buds and showcase the rich culinary delights of South Australia. Participating local traders, including popular establishments like arkhé, The Bath Hotel, 30 Acres, Amadio Wines, and Argo, will offer a wide range of delectable dishes. From fresh seafood to charcoal-fired creations, lavish desserts, and unique cocktails, there will be something to satisfy every palate.
In addition to local favorites, the festival will also feature premium South Australian producers, wineries from across the state, Fair Seafood, Pirate Life, and other regional breweries and distilleries. This diverse selection ensures that attendees can sample the best that South Australia has to offer, all in one place.
Entertainment Galore
The Norwood Food & Wine Festival is not just about food and drinks. It also promises a fantastic lineup of live entertainment to keep the crowds entertained throughout the day. The headline act, The Temper Trap, will take the stage, bringing their unique indie sound and high-energy performance. Festival-goers can also enjoy the musical talents of local bands, the Dusty Lee Band and Motel Music.
But that's not all! The festival will also feature a cooking demonstration stage presented by Tasting Australia and hosted by celebrity chef Callum Hann. Attendees can learn some culinary tips and tricks from the pros while enjoying the vibrant atmosphere.
A Feast for the Senses
The Norwood Food & Wine Festival aims to provide a complete sensory experience. As visitors explore the festival, they will be treated to the enticing aromas of sizzling dishes, the sounds of live music filling the air, and the vibrant colors of fresh produce and beautifully crafted beverages.
With big screens broadcasting AFL games along The Parade and within venues, festival-goers can also catch the excitement of the AFL Gather Round matches while indulging in the culinary delights on offer. This unique fusion of food, wine, and footy creates a lively and unforgettable atmosphere.
Boosting the Local Economy
The Norwood Food & Wine Festival is not just a celebration of South Australian cuisine; it also provides a significant economic boost for the local community. Last year, the inaugural AFL Gather Round brought in over $83 million to the South Australian economy, and this year's festival is expected to contribute to that success.
With an influx of visitors expected for the AFL Gather Round, local businesses have an opportunity to showcase their offerings and attract new customers. The hospitality spend in Norwood during last year's Gather Round exceeded $2.2 million, and this year's festival is poised to have an even greater impact.
