Ocean St World Festival
If there is one thing to do for this festival, it is to come hungry.
Come Easter Sunday, the entirety of Ocean Street and part of Duporth Street in Maroochydore closes to cars and fills with food stalls, live entertainment and people.
Kicking off at 10am and running right through to 10pm, this is the perfect spot for an epic Sunday Session.
2017 was the 6th year for this free festival and it was epic.
You won't know where to start with the all the enticing smells coming from every angle.
Featuring food from all over the world, I spent hours tasting empanadas and dumplings and everything in between. I even made room a little later for some spicy wings, washed down by a nice fruity drink in a reusable cup.
It really is a culinary journey around the world.
To distract from my ever-growing stomach, you can watch acts ranging from fifteen to forty-five minutes including Bellydancing, Tonga, Samba, Salsa, Latin and much more. We couldn't seem to escape the Brazilian dancing and music as they moved up and down the streets.
All ages were catered for so this would be a good event to bring the kids along to.
If you were keen for a spot of people watching and a beer, a couple of the restaurants set up pop-up laneway bars - some with couches - along the side of the street sponsored by the likes of Newtown brewers Young Henrys.
I will definitely be back next year - maybe after a run so I can try even more of the delicious food!
