Lovers of fine food will be in piggy heaven next month when Frankston’s Waterfront comes alive for the Seaside Street Food Festival.

From October 12-16, a rotating roster of gourmet cuisine, craft beer, cider and wine and live entertainment will feature at the festival, part of Frankston City Council’s inaugural Tourism Event Attraction Program. 

A highlight of the festival will be the Food Truck Park, the home of Melbourne street food.  An initiative to help grow the mobile food industry, the Food Truck Park is managed by the Australian Mobile Food Vendors Group and includes a host of food trucks to satisfy everyone’s taste buds.

Director Frank Rusitovski said he was “delighted” to bring the Food Truck Park to a new destination and expected it would be a huge success for the community as well as tourism in the region.

Frankston Mayor James Dooley said the festival and the Tourism Event Attraction Program would strengthen Frankston’s reputation for hosting successful major events that enhance the lifestyle of residents and attract visitors from across the state. “These new events are set to bring Frankston City alive, further enhancing Frankston’s status as a must-see destination for tourism and events on the Mornington Peninsula and within Victoria.”

The festival opens on Wednesday, October 12, from 5-10pm, and continues from Thursday, October 13, to Sunday, October 16, from 11am-10pm.  Entry is free.
