Description

The Feast of the Senses originated to raise the profile of the rare and exotic tropical produce from around Far North Queensland.

It has expanded to include all local produce, such as vegetables, meat, seafood, herbs, spices and wines. It has also grown now to incorporate cultural activities such as art exhibitions, photography competition, recipe competition, fishing competition, rowing regatta and introduced in 2010 for the first time a scarecrow competition amongst the schools in the region.

Major events include a Wine Fruit and Cheese Showcase, a Gala Dinner and a Market Day Extravaganza.
