The signature event for the Sunshine Coast’s The Curated Plate festival will be held on Kings Beach Caloundra on July 25, 2026.
Picnic on Kings will transform the Kings Beach parkland into a celebration site from 10am to 4pm.
One of the activities will be a visit by cartoon favourite Bluey and her sister Bingo for the Bluey Live Experience.
The ticketed Stage Show zone will host two sessions, including live music, a 4 Ingredients cooking competition, as well as the Bluey show. Tickets are essential and can be purchased here.
Tickets for the Stage Show sessions are $16.50 per person (children under 12 months free).
As well as the ticketed events, a free Activation Zone will be open to the public throughout the day.
This has interactive planting and cooking activities, taste tests, meeting local producers, exploring beehive learning displays, and relaxing with live entertainment, food trucks and picnic-style dining options.
Children can take part in lawn games, face painting, a petting zoo and the Sunshine Coast Libraries reading corner.
