Guest experience

Think of EatDrinkFestival as a theme park for food lovers or like Coachella for food, as Nosa likes to believe. The only way to have a fun time is to come prepared.

Dress the part

Get yourself some comfortable shoes, absolutely no heels. Add a hat and sunscreen for the sun as well. Most importantly, wear comfortable clothes because you're going to be doing some eating.

Pack light

You'll most likely want to navigate the Festival unencumbered, so pack light. Leave the unnecessary stuff at home.

Plan ahead

There's no way anyone is eating everything at the Festival. And no, you can't bring your takeaway pack from home (but the vendors will have some). Check out the map on our website (available the week of the event) and make sure you plan to hit your favourites first.

Divide and conquer

Get yourself a squad for the festival. As soon as you get into the Festival, split up, secure some goodies, get back together at the seating areas and share your spoils.

Pace yourself

This is the most important of all our tips. Don't overdo it. It’s a two-day festival, so you want to avoid the premature food coma.

Get your ticket early

Skip the lines at entry. You definitely don't want to be standing in line when there's food to be eaten so save yourself the stress and get your ticket online ahead of the event.
