Top 10 Brisbane Culture On this week 28/02/2021
Admit it. You’re bad at admitting things.
10) Sunshine Coast Asian Food Festival
28th February
What: Come and enjoy cooking demonstrations whilst trying some incredible Asian food in the beautiful rainforest surrounds of Spicers Tamarind Retreat. Guests will enjoy five mouth watering Asian dishes and two matching beverages. There will be live entertainment all afternoon and a riesling master class with the Sunshine Coast’s favourite Sommelier, Peter Marchant. Bring a picnic blanket and relax in the sunshine whilst enjoying the amazing tastes of Asia.
Why: Gorge yourself in a secluded area in the mountains, where no one you love can judge you.
9) Diana Doherty & Streeton Tro
4th March
What: Acclaimed worldwide for her unparalleled command of a famously tricky instrument, Sydney oboist Diana Doherty makes a rare national tour in 2021. Diana’s delicious, eyes-alight style of performance finds a joyous match with her friends, the Streeton Trio, performing with Diana and alone in masterpieces of the repertory.
Why: Because attending the symphony is a mark of class and intelligence, but attending a one hour performance by a live oboist means you’re the most sophisticated, intellectually complex person in your whole extended family and no one can claim otherwise.

What: Cloudland’s Graze is the only way to ‘lunch’ on a Saturday afternoon and it’s back for a big summer event! Step out and settle in with a grazing-style lunch menu, featuring bottomless beverages. Nestle into Cloudland’s urban oasis and indulge yourself this weekend.
Why: It says something about the non-pandemic-related consequences of living in the 21st Century that at first we thought the last sentence in the above description contained a nonsensical trademark violation of a mass slavery outfit.
