Who is Capricorn Food and Wine Inc.?

The annual Capricorn Food and Wine Festival was created back in 2012 by Stage & Audio Event Solutions to celebrate 35 years in business and as a “thank you” to the community.

Hosted by a committee of local event stars and volunteers, the Festival has since evolved into 3 annual events- Big Beer Festival, Capricorn Food and Wine Festival and Oktoberfest Rockhampton. The Festivals exist to showcase the region’s burgeoning hospitality and music scene, drive tourism to the region and support local producers and businesses.
