Food Festival – A Taste of Wellington
Positively Wellington Tourism and Grow Wellington have joined forces again for this years Wellington On a Plate, an annual festival of food to run from August 14-29th this year. Positively Wellington Tourism General Manager of Marketing Sarah Meikle says the festival will start small and local, but the long-term vision is for Wellington On a Plate to be an annual gourmet showcase that will draw residents into the downtown area and attract visitors from around the country and Australia.

Festival spokesperson Sarah Meikle said the phenomenal success of last year’s event “blew organisers out of the water” and judging by the incredible ideas planned for 2010, this year’s event would be stepping up even further.
Boutique weekend markets are planned to run throughout the festival in Thorndon, a suburb rich with history and also the birthplace of Katherine Mansfield, one of New Zealand’s best-known authors.
Stalls will sell a range of local produce, olive oil, wines, brews, sweets, seafood and sauces.

How I wish I could be there to enjoy the non-stop eating festival. Judging from the picture, I’ll say that everything that I love in food is in it. I am a food lover myself and that is why I really to go in these kind of festivals so that I’ll be able to taste different foods from different countries.
Food looks really yummy. can’t wait to try some local food when i am there. I am really excited.

Wow this would be a good break for me and for my family! How I wish we could be there to taste there delicious foods!
Wow, the food on the plate looks so yummy. The bread is thick and will serve as an alternative to rice. I saw and egg too. Is that a salad? Food fest is really one great way to boost tourism in the area. We here in the Philippines have a weekly food fest called Banchetto and is held in our Business district. They serve good fresh food at a very reasonable price!
nice festival. it’s make my diet holiday for a while. i like culinary. great post

It sounds so lovely. I love to eat local grown food anywhere I go. That would keep everything more fresh and tasty.
I have been to Australia and there is definitely some great food to be had there. I would recommend visiting Wellington, just for the food.
I love to eat this food. It tells me to have even an only part of meat on the other dish..
Wow, the food on the plate looks so yummy.
Everyone do the Haka! Thanks for the post and videos. Looks great
