Prepare your taste buds and clear your camera roll, the Viral Food Festival is bringing the most talked-about, drool-worthy dishes from your social media feeds straight to Newcastle for the very first time! The epic celebration of flavour is set to take over Newcastle Racecourse from Friday 20 - Sunday 22 June, and features over 25 incredible food options that will leave you spoiled for choice.

You can sink your teeth into internet-famous favorites like the legendary Cluckin Canes Dupe—crispy, saucy, and utterly satisfying. Indulge in Big Mac Tacos dripping with glorious cheese, feast on succulent lobster rolls and tender brisket, or try the unexpectedly delicious cheeseburger spring rolls. And don't miss the ultimate comfort food experience: Mac and Cheese Everything. These are just a taste of the savory sensations waiting to tantalize your taste buds.

Sweet tooth calling? Prepare for pure dessert bliss with decadent Dubai Bubble Waffles loaded with Kataifi and rich pistachio cream. Treat yourself to Dessert Sticks topped with Biscoff crumb and Bueno sauce, or grab the Disney Churro dupe with all your favorite toppings. When you need something refreshing, fresh Açaí bowls are ready to deliver.

The Viral Food Festival offers the complete festival experience beyond incredible eats. Challenge your crew at carnival games, and let our live DJs and bands pump up the vibes all weekend long. Catch the action at our wrestling ring and capture unforgettable moments with amazing roving performers—your camera roll will thank you.

This is your chance to taste the internet and feel the buzz in person. Create lasting memories instead of watching someone else's story! Purchase tickets at the gate, or online via www.viralfoodfestival.com.au.

Come hungry, leave happy, and take home memories that'll make your friends jealous!
