A month-long festival of food and wine, Taste of the Beaches, returns to the Northern Beaches in May and expressions of interest are now open for local businesses to get involved. 

Taste of the Beaches was run with great success in 2021 and 2022, attracting locals and visitors to food and beverage businesses during a traditionally quieter period. 

It showcases the best on the Beaches with unique experiences offered by local cafes, restaurants and breweries. 

The festival celebrates our area as a destination for incredible food and wine, craft beer and coffee while supporting local businesses to platform their unique fare.

Taste of the Beaches will replace Taste of Manly which has been paused in 2024 for review. 

Forced to adapt over time to meet more stringent licencing requirements, including fencing off the area and bag and identification checks, the Taste of Manly will be reviewed to see how it can best be held in the future to meet the regulatory obligations while also meeting community expectations.

Businesses interested in being involved in Taste of the Beaches are encouraged to learn more and apply here.
