Lismore’s vibrant food and drink scene is set to ignite again as Norco Eat the Street makes its eagerly anticipated comeback tomorrow (Saturday, 15 November).

The event will run from 12pm to 7pm along Keen Street and in The Quad precinct in the heart of Lismore’s CBD.

As part of preparations, Keen Street (from Magellan Street to Woodlark Street) will be closed from midnight Friday, 14 November until midnight Saturday, 15 November to ensure a safe and festive environment.

Pedestrian access will remain open throughout the setup and event, so you can still visit all the shops along the street. Keen Street is closed to vehicles, but not to people.

Almost 40 food traders and 14 local drink suppliers will bring the very best of the Northern Rivers’ culinary scene to the event.

You can expect a diverse mix of flavours, from gourmet BBQ and Asian street eats to Italian classics, vegetarian creations and decadent desserts.

A dedicated “Quad Bar” area will feature craft beverages (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and a reusable cup system in keeping with the festival’s sustainability goals.

Interactive competitions and live entertainment will keep the crowd engaged and energised, including a pie-eating competition, a barista competition and live music. Check out more details on the Eat The Street 2025 button on the Lismore App or via the website.

This event marks the return of Lismore’s signature food festival after a four-year hiatus, bringing together local producers, restaurants and the community to celebrate the city centre in style.

It’s a great opportunity to walk the CBD, support local hospitality and enjoy a fun afternoon with friends and family.
