Eat Drink Play Gippsland

From the wild west to the lush east, and everywhere in between, Gippsland is bursting with flavour, creativity and community spirit—and we're proud to call it home.

Eat Drink Play Gippsland is a vibrant one-day (and night!) festival that brings it all together, celebrating the very best of our region's food, drink and music in one unforgettable event.

Bringing to life the enormously popular Eat Drink Gippsland Guide, this festival will showcase the food and drink specialists of the region and where you can get front and centre to meet and greet them throughout the day. 

Then, in the evening we transform the space into a music festival.

From paddock to party. A one-day feast of the regions finest.
Two sessions. One unforgettable day.

EAT DRINK: 11am—5pm

From cult-status restaurants to boutique wineries, small-batch cheesemakers, brewers, distillers and more – this is your chance to taste Gippsland’s top producers all in one place. Meet the people behind the plate, glass and paddock, and celebrate the region’s rich food and drink scene whilst enjoying live local music.
One incredible day of flavour, craft, and connection.
Your session ticket includes festival entry, tote bag, wine cup and Eat Drink Gippsland Guide.

PLAY: 6pm—10pm

After a day of feasting, the festival turns up the volume with an epic night of live music: local star Steph Strings, the powerhouse Emma Donovan performs 'Take Me To The River' a tribute to timeless soul classics, and the high-energy Melbourne Ska Orchestra to bring it home.
Three huge acts, one unforgettable night.

Come to one session or both!
