Celebreate All Things Sweet at Newcastle's Sweetest Festival
Festival of Sweets & Treats is back, bringing together all your favourite dessert vendors plus a delicious lineup of exciting new stalls.
Join us on Sunday, 11 October, from 9am to 3pm for Newcastle's biggest celebration of all things sweet.
Hunter Events Group, hosts of Festival of Sweets & Treats, is eagerly anticipating crowds of over 5,000 local and non-local visitors flocking to the Newcastle city centre to attend this year's event. With live entertainment, tasty treats around every corner, and plenty of fun for the whole family, it's the sweetest day out that locals won't want to miss!
Fan favourites are back, including Floss Bomb with freshly spun fairy floss, Pretty Sweet Bakes serving up an irresistible selection of cupcakes, brownies, loaded cookies, cakes in a can, strawberry cups, shakes and sweet treats, and Loaded Pretz bringing their famous giant pretzels topped with mouth-watering combinations.
We're also welcoming some exciting new dessert experiences! The Marshmallow Co. will be serving up their crowd favourite s'mores, sundaes, hot chocolates and handcrafted marshmallows, while Hazely Dipped will tempt visitors with their signature cinnamon scroll and tiramisu, and Cookie Pie will be offering decadent cookie pies & gooey stuffed brownies.
Explore even more international sweet treats, including Portuguese-inspired pastries, cakes and tarts, Greek loukoumades, Dutch mini pancakes, Hong Kong-style egg waffle sticks, traditional tanghulu fruit sticks, bubble waffles and Asian inspired shaved ice desserts.
But the cravings don't stop at dessert! The festival will also bring together a mouth-watering mix of multicultural flavours, serving up savoury favourites including Korean fried chicken, Turkish gozleme, Greek cuisine, dumplings, bao buns, pizza, burgers, loaded fries and more.
