This weekend is looking terrific! Not only are there two football grand finals and the world championship cycling taking place, but there are loads of food related events happening around Brisbane.
First up Dreamfarm is having a Barn Door Opening morning tea event at its new warehouse in Albion on Saturday morning. Dreamfarm is a Brisbane based design company and will be showcasing their entire range of kitchen gadgets, as well as offering free espresso and tasty treats to all that attend.
Then kick off your Sunday with a trip to Jan Power's farmers market at Blackwood Street in Mitchelton. I'm a regular visitor to the Blackwood Street market - usually picking up fresh raspberries, great mushrooms, local honey, gluten free Sol bread and plenty of other food that tastes much better than anything you'll find at your local supermarket.
Then we'll be heading over to Southbank for two more events - the Thai Culture and Food Festival and Granite Belt Flavours.
The inaugural Thai Culture and Food Festival will feature Thai dancing, cultural shows, Thai products, the Singha beer garden and (most importantly) 15 food stalls. It will be located at the Cultural Forecourt at South Bank.
Once you have had a wander around the Thai Festival, head over to Granite Belt Flavours on Little Stanley Street where you'll find 30 stalls showing off the best food, wine & produce from the Granite Belt. It's a great way to support local food industries, and if you haven't tried much wine from the Granite Belt, it's the perfect way to start.

I wish I had have caught up on all my blog reading on Friday night so I knew about Dreamfarm. Sounds like it was great.
Got to the Blackwood Street Markets and picked up some goodies. And how great are they now, getting bigger each month!
Heard Moroccan Night was awesome Richard. Hope to make it to the next one.
Great blog so nice to find. Looking forward to reading more.
Certain things we never know until we get a chance to read it somewhere and this is one such opportunity. I will be a regular reader as I do not wish to be left out looking forward to more news from http://www.ascotcatering.com.au
