Gascoyne Food Festival Grows Even Bigger In 2025
The Gascoyne Food Festival is back for 2025, showcasing the region’s premium produce, culinary talent and spectacular landscapes.
This year’s program features 17 events across July and August, including a long table lunch with acclaimed international chef Ben Ing, a race day and dining experiences under the stars.
Events will take place throughout the Gascoyne region including in Shark Bay, Carnarvon, Upper Gascoyne and Exmouth.
Regarded as Australia’s biggest regional gastronomic experience, the drawcard event continues to grow each year, attracting hundreds of visitors to the region.
The festival not only highlights local produce, but boosts the region’s economy, drives culinary tourism and strengthens the links between growers, chefs, and consumers.
The new Gascoyne Food Trail, in partnership with the Cook Government-backed Buy West Eat Best program, will spotlight local hospitality businesses that will each plate up a signature dish inspired by the region.
The WA Government has proudly supported the Gascoyne Food Festival since 2013, through Tourism WA’s Regional Events Scheme.
