VOLUNTEERS are putting the final preparations in place for the biggest event on the Cassowary Coast’s calendar.

The 2023 Feast of the Senses kicks off on Thursday next week with a visit to historic Paronella Park at Mena Creek and a fun night at the Innisfail RSL to play ‘Gone Troppo Trivia’.

Committee president Rosi Jensen said the festival could not take place without their hardworking volunteers and there was something for everyone.

She said the biggest of all the events was the Australian Bananas River Feast on Sunday, March 26.

“We are thrilled that the Australian Bananas River Feast is almost here,” she said.

“Our volunteer committee has worked incredibly hard to bring this event to the community, and it would not happen without the financial support of Australian Bananas and numerous other supporters,” she said.

Gates open at 9am on Sunday morning and entry is free.

“There will be an amazing array of food and produce stalls, cooking demonstrations and tastings on the Brothers’ Leagues Club Canecutter Court stage and musical entertainment on the riverbank on the RADF river stage,” Ms Jensen said.

“Featuring local performers and supported by the combined CCRC and State Government Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) Grant, this will feature a great line-up of entertainment commencing at 9am,” Ms Jensen said.

The Feast of Fun Kid Zone, at the skatepark end of the riverbank, with inflatable rides and activities, will be a hot spot for children of all ages. Rides will be $5 each or $20 for an all-day, unlimited rides wristband. For more information go to www.feastofthesenses.com.au/events/
