Taste Bundaberg Festival returns in 2025 with a program that celebrates the best fresh produce and dining experiences the region has to offer.
For 10 tasty days from 5 to 14 September, residents and visitors can choose from an array of local events designed to tempt tastebuds.
Bundaberg Regional Council Mayor Helen Blackburn said the festival would showcase the region’s food producers.
“Taste Bundaberg Festival brings the community together to celebrate the abundance of fresh food produced in the Bundaberg Region,” Mayor Blackburn said.
“We are looking forward to enjoying some new events on the festival program, as well as the return of crowd favourites.
“The full program will be released in July, so sign up to Council’s events newsletter if you want to be among the first to hear what’s on at Taste Bundaberg Festival this year.”
As part of the festival, the Taste Bundaberg Market will return to the riverside location of Alexandra Park, on Saturday 6 September.
Mayor Blackburn said the popular annual market was a real highlight on the festival program.
“The Taste Bundaberg Market is a wonderful day out for the whole family, with lots of fresh produce, delicious food trucks and tasty treats” she said.
“We will have live music and demonstrations on the cooking stage to entertain audiences throughout the day.”
Market stallholder applications are currently open and can be submitted online here.
