Last weekend’s Street Soiree was not only a smash-hit successful party, but also the gateway to an entire MAY of feel-good fun including live music, food and wine, film, comedy, sport, culture and MORE. It’s a chance to reconnect. To reinvigorate. To REVEL!

The dictionary defines REVEL as “to enjoy oneself in a lively and noisy way”. But hey, it’s not just a verb – revel also means the actual event where this fun takes place. So don’t be surprised throughout May to see people across Kiama revelling at a variety of revels – with a lively and noisy mix of free, ticketed and sponsored events. Here are your first week highlights (check out the full program here):

SUNDAY LUNCH IS SORTED

Join us at The Pavilion Kiama this Sunday 8 May 12-3pm for THE FARMED TABLE – as master chef Brendan Cato and Slow Food Saddleback team up to serve you an exclusive and delicious five course luncheon. This special event will showcase a bounty of food from local farmers, producers and artisans, matched with Brendan’s own wine. Includes a Q&A with Brendan AND live music by Mark Crotti. A wonderful Mother’s Day treat for the family – book your table today!
