HERBAL MARKETS

These incredible local speakers will be joined by a thriving herbal market with 50 stalls- selling medicinal and culinary herb seedlings, skincare, natural soaps and bodycare, herbal remedies and a TONNE of other amazing offerings.

Save your pennies and stock up, knowing you’ll take home the best quality remedies whilst also supporting your local herbal makers and growers!

Food + Drinks

We’ve got the BEST food stalls on the block (well I am biased, but you’ll agree when you get there) with a variety of gluten-free, refined sugar-free sweet treats, Joseph’s Middle Eastern food, Mercedes empanadas, and Dhom’s Thai food

As always we’ve got chai and the Deadly Coffee on Walkabout- an indigenous social enterprise coffee truck which the HerbFest crowds love! 

And there’s the cruisey tunes to enjoy whilst eating and wandering around and something for the kids at the Kids Corner.

With its laid-back vibe, incredible speakers generously sharing their knowledge and chats with friends new and old – there’s 1000 amazing reasons people love coming to Sunny Coast HerbFest.

And – it’s definitely a welcoming event for all — from curious newbies to practitioners – we’re here to support you at every stage of the plant path.

Can you believe all this is just $20 and kids under 14 free!
