GourMay is a month-long food festival celebrating the growers, producers, and culinary creators of the Mary Valley. 

Throughout May, GourMay Mary Valley will feature a series of satellite events where visitors and locals alike can immerse themselves in a variety of experiences, including farm tours and open days, breakfasts, lunches, dinners, workshops, art exhibitions, film screenings, live performances, walking tours, and much more.

Mark your calendar for GourMay’s Festival Day, which will take place at the Imbil Town Square and Rail Park on Saturday, 25 May, from 8.30 am to 3 pm. Festival Day features food stalls, cooking demonstrations, farming presentations, and the annual GourMay cooking challenge, where four local chefs will go head-to-head to see who will be crowned GourMay Mary Valley Cook of the Year.
