Southland Served Bold

Southland Served Bold

A little bit gourmet.

A little bit glam.

A whole lot Southland.

This isn’t your average food festival

Coast to Toast is a wildly entertaining, high-end showcase of Southland’s food story. Playful, premium, and unapologetically offbeat. It all kicks off with the kookiest and shortest run / walk - sequins optional, fun compulsory.

Assorted seafood dishes including shrimp, clams, mussels, and grilled shrimp, served with toasted bread and lemon halves.

A 3D line graph with orange and white wavy lines showing an upward trend over time from 1950 to 2015, titled 'Global Temperature Change (°C)'.

Then the real feast begins: With a showcase of Southland kai, with bubbles, cocktails from boutique makers, and dishes crafted by the South’s best chefs and gourmet food trucks.

People clinking glasses with drinks containing mint leaves outdoors during sunset.

From midday buses out of Invercargill to early-evening toasts under the Ocean Beach sky, it’s the perfect set-up for rolling back into town to keep the party going with more food, music, and late-night adventures.
