New in ‘25: Crafted SMokeshow

There’s a fresh energy to this year’s festival with the launch of Crafted Smokeshow, where things will be smoking, sizzling and seriously competitive.

Expect BBQ eating competitions, live cooking demonstrations, and a feast of smoky brisket, slow-roasted meats, spice-packed wings, ribs and burgers. It’s a sensory overload in all the right ways, served up alongside mouthwatering eats from festival favourites like The Burger Head, Gluten Free Donuts, Italian Pizzas and yes, the return of beer’s best friend, the humble hot chip.
