Excitement is building for Casino Beef Week 2025 following the highly anticipated 100-Day Launch event, where the official theme was revealed, sponsors were celebrated, and the entrants for the Beef Week Queen and Ambassador programs were introduced.

Held at The Barn Steakhouse in Casino, the event marked the official countdown to Casino’s iconic festival, which takes place from May 24th to June 1st, 2025.

In its 43rd year, The Casino Food Co-Op Casino Beef Week Festival remains an iconic celebration of the agricultural industry within the Northern NSW area. The night was full of anticipation and community support towards what promises to be another vibrant and memorable celebration of the region’s rich beef industry. 

Unwavering Support from our Festival Sponsors

The Launch Event provided a platform to acknowledge the valued sponsors—both new and returning—whose support ensures the success of Casino Beef Week year after year. The generous support from returning sponsors The Casino Food Co-Op, Richmond Valley Council, Casino RSM Club, The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Jack Link’s, NBN News, Westlawn, Achieve Australia, Bindaree Food Group and Tursa ensures that each year, Casino Beef Week is an event that is not to be missed.

The night also allowed Casino Beef Week to happily announce their three-year partnership with Australian Food Super as a gold-level sponsor with naming rights of the Super Saturday Street Festival. Overall, each sponsor was celebrated for their invaluable contribution to Casino Beef Week and their part in one of Australia's most anticipated rural festivals.

Casino Beef Week President Brody Lisha expressed excitement about the upcoming event, stating, “This year, we are proud to unveil the theme: Secrets Of The Museum. 

"This theme encourages curiosity, storytelling, and exploration. It will offer a unique combination of history, mystery, and discovery while drawing inspiration from ancient civilisations, iconic artifacts, and famous characters. It is a theme full of hidden treasures and forgotten history.”
