The much loved Teneriffe Festival is making its return tomorrow, Saturday 27 May, with so much to explore and a fiesta experience that’s better than ever.

 

The event, which captures the diversity and heritage that makes Teneriffe the cultural hub it is, will run from 10am to 9pm and offers something for everyone, with tickets going for $15 or four for $50.

 

South East Queensland’s best food trucks will once again pull up on Vernon Terrace to share various global flavours and take your taste buds on a trip around the world, and you’ll also be able to indulge in your favourite local eats thanks to The Taste of Teneriffe, with the likes of Dalgety 2.0 Public House and Siffredi’s dishing up signature dishes and festival specials. And a pop-up beer garden which is being overseen by Stone & Wood

 

On the music bill, as curated by The Triffid: Boy & Bear on headliner duties, plus GANGgajang and Odette. There’s also Flowertruck, Felivand, The Moving Stills, Betty Taylor and Dizzy Days — and the list goes on.

 

The lineup will hit two main stages, plus a dedicated riverside jazz garden stage with sounds provided by the Jazz Music Institute — and the tunes will keep going via DJs and roving performers.

 

There’ll be over 100 market stalls to stroll through and community reps to have a chat to and get more involved in your local community, while a dedicated kids zone will make sure the little ones get to have just as much fun as the big kids, so this one’s for the whole family.

After the huge success of their first restaurant in Queensland, the team behind the hugely popular FishBowl in Gasworks, is opening an equally healthy fruit-based concept restaurant, FruitBowl.

 

Dubbed as “FISHBOWL BUT WITH FRUIT”, the restaurant will offer delicious acai, froyo, locally grown fruit, and a selection of toppings.

 

Founded in 2016 by mates Nathan Dalah, Nic Pestalozzi and Casper Ettelson as uni students, Fishbowl has grown to a network of 30 stores in NSW and Victoria with a cash flow-funded business model, an emphasis on sustainably sourced produce, and a care for culture that flows through community activities and a unique feel to each outlet.

 

FruitBowl is opening this Sunday 21^st May, and they are offering the first 100 customers a free bowl from 11am.

The Breakfast Creek/Newstead Raceway will be the site of a new major indoor sports centre ahead of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, with the state government confirming the site, saying the venue would be a “a great new sporting facility that will service the Queensland community for decades to come”.

“The proposed new Indoor Sports Centre will be a 12-court high-performance, para-sporting Centre that will host local, national and international sporting events including basketball, wheelchair basketball, wheelchair rugby, netball, volleyball and badminton,” said Deputy Premier Steven Miles.

“Work on the master plan for the mixed-use community precinct at Albion is continuing, including increasing indoor and outdoor sporting facilities, open green space and housing.”

The venue would also play host to the Olympic basketball and Paralympic wheelchair basketball at the Brisbane 2032 Games.

The new venue is one of the sporting facilities which fall under the state and federal government’s joint $1.87bn Games venue deal, which means it would be a shared cost – but the total cost of the venue has not yet been revealed.
