Much to our delight, the festival will be even bigger and better this year, taking over BOTH levels of the iconic waterfront venue Shed 10. There will be two sessions this year 12-4pm and 5-9pm, and there will be two sessions so you can pre-purchase your ticket.
In highly exciting news just announced, legendary Five Boroughs will collab’ing with Jack Daniel’s for a pop-up during the festival. They'll be bringing their covetable treats including their next-level chicken burgers, truffle fried chicken and crack fries all washed down with Jack Daniel's Lynchburg lemonade or iced tea. No wonder these guys always sell out.
There's also a drool-worthy line up of other fried chicken legends including Mexico, Lowbrow and Tiger Burger plus favourite food trucks NomNom, Temaki Truck and Bun Hun.
Tasty American styled treats from The Pie Piper and organic gelato from Lalele will be there to cool down those taste buds for foodies daring to dabble with spicy sauces.
