Anyone who loves locally produced, beautiful fresh food and artisan products will enjoy the 2025 GourMay program launch on Saturday evening, 2 November, at Amamoor.

The Taste of GourMay launch party at Amamoor’s Village Green is for the month-long festival next year celebrating food in the Mary Valley.

The party will provide a chance to meet local producers, artisans and like-minded people from the region.

It promises to be a night of quality entertainment from local stars, as well as fresh local food and refreshments.

There will even be a visit from the Mary Valley Rattler as the Silver Bullet motor railcar travels from Gympie to Amamoor.

The launch party will be from 5:30pm to 8:30pm and offer the chance for the Mary Valley and wider community to get together and learn all about the plans for the 2025 festival program.

Gympie Regional Council and Hydro have confirmed they will be among the sponsors for 2025.

GourMay organiser Malcolm Oakley is working on filling the Village Green and surrounds on Saturday evening with good family-friendly entertainment as well as local food and drink vendors.

These include Dhoms Kitchen, Frankos Pizza, Kaysers Smoke Train, Noosa Hinterland Brewing, Wild Barrel Brewery, Dingo Creek WInery and Diablo Ginger Beer.

Music will be from Gas and Gav, with a special show from Mary Valley Circus.
