Dine In Dine Out food fiesta returns to Camberwell for sixth year

Food lovers will be pleased to learn that Camberwell’s annual food and wine event Dine In Dine Out returns on Saturday, August 4.

Now in its sixth year, the gourmet day and night will offer laneway pop-up parks, live music, food and wine tastings, demonstrations, in-store promotions, roving entertainers and activities for the kids.

The Camberwell traders put on Dine In Dine Out to showcase the best in local cafes, restaurants, niche food stores and market produce.

Daytime activities will run from 10am – 3pm, while the evening festivities will take place from 6pm – 10pm.

Camberwell Centre Association manager Kerry Daly said the event has proven popular with both Camberwell locals and food-loving visitors in previous years.

“We have more than 140 food businesses across the Camberwell precinct. Dine In Dine Out gives us the chance to showcase the diverse food and dining options in the area,” she said.

“The event has grown each year, and this year visitors can look forward to a few new activities and attractions.

“It’s a great day out for the whole family, and the evening offers a bit of fun for those who want to stay out late and enjoy a live show.”
