Get Ready to Groove!

Food n Groove returns to the Fraser Coast next month for two special ‘Get Ready’ events launching in Hervey Bay on October 7 and October 14 in Maryborough.

Fraser Coast Regional Council’s 'Get Ready’ event is a government initiative designed to help people prepare for the approaching bushfire, storm, and cyclone season.

Take a look at the emergency vehicles or chat to emergency crews to be prepared this storm season, all while enjoying the fun atmosphere, great entertainment, and abundant food and drink options.

“There is no better way to start a weekend than a family-orientated outdoor event on Friday afternoon, Fraser Coast Mayor George Seymour said.

“The timing suits our climate as it is not too hot; the food is always wonderful and the music on point. 

“With La Nina and heavy rains predicted for the coming Spring and Summer, I encourage all residents to come along to see the emergency services vehicles and personnel and find out how they can be prepared.” Fraser Coast Mayor George Seymour continued.

‘Get Ready’ Hervey Bay kicks off from 4pm at Hervey Bay City Park on Friday 7 October, while Maryborough will also host its own ‘Get Ready’ event later in the month on Friday 14 October at the Maryborough Showgrounds from 4pm. 

From November, Fraser Coast Tourism and Events will run its signature Food n Groove Fridays from Hervey Bay’s City Park on the first Friday of each month until January, offering visitors and locals alike the opportunity to wind down after the working week.

Festival goers can browse the local market stalls, enjoy tasty food, or enjoy the live entertainment…the perfect segway into the weekend.

“We are thrilled to be returning to the birthplace of Food n Groove Fridays, City Park following the re-opening of the Hervey Bay Regional Gallery” Events Delivery Manager Chelsea Larner-Simpson said.
