Meet Eat Repeat foodie fest is back in paradise

For the first time in 2019, TropicNow's foodie festival Meet Eat Repeat will return to the northern beaches, serving up good vibes and tasty treats at Paradise Palms on October 19.

Bring a picnic blanket and relax on the lush green grass centred on the Club House at the former 18th hole of the golf course while enjoying a stellar line-up of old favourites and new start-up food vendors, fully-licensed bars, plus live music, old-school lawn games and more.

Details of food vendors - including some exclusive stalls appearing for the first time - will be revealed over coming weeks on TropicNow in the lead-up to the event on October 19.

The family-friendly event will run from 4pm til late with plenty of parking, a $5 entry and kids under 12 free.

Meet Eat Repeat in Paradise follows the hugely successful Meet Eat Repeat on Florence Street in June, which attracted 7,500 people.

Christmas parties seem to be taking over everyone's calendars, lucky we've got a few more options to fill in all the blanks. Japanese comedian Takashi Wakasugi is sharing his take after five years in Aus. NorthSite is hosting an artist meetup, as well as a new exhibition launch. We have a couple workshops by The Posy Crew and Annee herself with a Vietnamese coffee masterclass at Nu Nu. Plus, there are a few end of year performances by local choir, dance and community groups.

There's now no denying what time of year it is, so to shimmy in all the festivities we have a bunch of Christmas events all weekend long. JUTE's young talent is on full display with help from Overall Arts, and we have comedy at the Tanks with The War on 2023 wrapping the year up in a messy little bow. Paramour Cabaret is back for one night only, James R. Thomas is hitting the stage at Elixir, and Rock'n'Roar4 Paws is in Mareeba this time to raise funds for the Mareeba Animal Refuge.
