The South Burnett’s Wine and Food In The Park festival will be celebrating its 18th birthday with a very special night on Friday, March 10.
For the past three years the festival has held a gala dinner under the stars at Memorial Park in Kingaroy, and they’ve grown to become a social high point of each year.
This year, though, the night will be switching to the South Burnett Machinery Club at Kingaroy Airport, opposite the Kingaroy Observatory.
The theme – “Style With The Stars” – will be 1950s cocktail glam.
Guests are encouraged to dress up in their most stylish 1950s cocktail outfits for a night of fun, food, wine and beers, rock & roll and – if they fancy it – a short tour of the neighbouring observatory and a quick peek through the telescopes at wonders of the universe (weather permitting).
Well-known Toowoomba entertainers Owen and Sue Ray will be providing mood music in the earlier part of the evening, then livelier rock’n’roll as the night moves on.
And at 7:30pm, guests who’ve elected to take an optional tour of the Observatory can move across the road for a presentation by astronomer Jim Barclay.
South Burnett chef Mike Giles from OMG Catering will be providing continuous canapes throughout the night, all created from local foods, and the bar will be well stocked with premium South Burnett wines and a range of craft beers.
Style With The Stars will start at 6:30pm and run until late, and tickets for the dinner are $90 per person and limited to 150.
The optional Observatory tour is an extra $15 per person.
Bookings are now open and will close a week prior on March 3, unless sold out earlier.
Tickets can be booked online through Trybooking.com.
