APPETITE FEST 2019 - PRETORIA

Calling all foodies, home cooks, aspiring chefs, pastry artists and culinary gurus!

Appetite Fest is a family-friendly food event that will be cooking up a storm at Time Square’s Sun Arena this August.

Bring your friends, round up the kids and get ready for a culinary festival that explores the diverse tastes and flavours of the Rainbow Nation. To celebrate the launch of this food festival in Tshwane, fans and foodies will be treated to appearances by all three MasterChef Australia judges – George Calombaris, Gary Mehigan and Matt Preston. So, put on those oven mitts, haul out the spatulas and get ready to cook/bake/eat at Appetite Fest.

Come Hungry, Leave Happy!

Appetite Fest will see Time Square’s Sun Arena and outdoor areas transformed into a playground of interactive food stalls, tasting tables, themed hospitality areas and culinary theatres.
