International superstars Bluey and Bingo will headline a family-friendly picnic event as part of The Curated Plate Food and Drink Festival this year on the Sunshine Coast.

Picnic on Kings will transform the lawn at Kings Beach Amphitheatre, Caloundra, into a giant picnic featuring fresh food, kids’ activities, and appearances from Queensland’s favourite animated characters.

Taking place on Saturday, July 26, from 10am to 4.30pm, the event will be part of The Curated Plate’s opening weekend.

Families can look forward to a fun-filled day celebrating food, community and play.

Entry to Picnic on Kings is free, but with limited spaces, families are encouraged to secure their spots quickly.

There will also be an exclusive meet-and-greet opportunity with Bluey and Bingo available for purchase.

Among the activities, children and the young at heart can embrace their inner farmers by learning how to plant vegetables.

There will also be cooking activities, an opportunity to learn about bee hives, lawn games, face painting, a petting zoo and Sunshine Coast Libraries will be giving away 1,000 Bluey books.

Sunshine Coast Division 2 Councillor Terry Landsberg encouraged locals and visitors to secure their spot quickly for the inaugural event.

“Bring a picnic, your little farmers and your mini chefs to enjoy a day filled with hands-on learning, tasty treats, food trucks and the excitement of seeing Bluey live,” Mr Landsberg said.

As Queensland’s premier food and drink festival, The Curated Plate runs for 10 days, celebrating the region’s best food and drink experiences.
