Taste the beat. Sip the sound. Let your senses dance where music, food, and art collide.

Presented by Mackay Festivals and Wisely Group, Wisely Wine and Food Day invites you to soak up a vibrant celebration of wine, street eats, creative culture, and live music.

Head to Queens Park for an unforgettable day packed with bold flavors, refreshing brews, artistic energy and feel-good beats. Wander through buzzing arts markets, watch live plein air painting unfold before your eyes, or grab a brush and a glass at a relaxed paint-and-sip session. When hunger strikes, explore a delicious lineup of food vendors serving crowd-pleasing street food. Raise a glass to an outstanding lineup of craft beers, wines, and ciders—perfect pours for curious tasters and seasoned connoisseurs alike. 

As the sun shines, the music turns up. Live performances ignite the stage with an electrifying mix of genres, filling the park with energy that keeps the good times flowing from first sip to final encore. Free, family-friendly, and bursting with atmosphere, this is a must-experience celebration for locals and visitors alike.
