Rowlee Event

Orange FOOD Week

March 20, 2026
20 - 29 March, 2026
Orange, NSW

Orange FOOD Week is Australia’s longest running regional food festival and has been acclaimed as one of Australia’s top ten food festivals. The 10 day community festival, held from Friday 20 March to Sunday 29 March in 2026, celebrates the Orange region’s diverse and high quality food and wine. It showcases the farmers who grow it, as well as the local chefs, cooks, restaurateurs and caterers that create extraordinary dishes with it.

What started out as an idea dreamt up by a small group of passionate local foodies three decades ago to showcase the provenance and rich diversity of the Orange region’s produce and to celebrate its producers and vignerons, has blossomed into a festival of national standing.

FOOD Week is committed to championing the provenance of the Orange region’s produce, celebrating  local heroes and positioning the region as one of Australia’s most aspirational culinary tourism destinations – where every week is food and wine week.
