Lismore City Council Invites Expressions of Interest (EOI) from local restaurants, cafes, food producers, and vendors to secure their spot at the highly anticipated return of NORCO Eat the Street 2026. The much-loved food and culture festival will transform the Lismore CBD on Saturday, 22 August 2026, taking over Keen Street, The Quad, and the Lismore Regional Gallery. The pedestrian-first event features live music, great food, family entertainment, and is expected to attract around 10,000 attendees. EOIs are open to businesses within the Lismore LGA and surrounding areas. It is a fantastic opportunity for local businesses to showcase their unique culinary talents, get in front of thousands of visitors, and be part of an incredible, vibrant community event. To support vendors, the event provides shared facilities including cool room access, power, toilets, ice, and event advertising. To help cover these operational costs, a participation fee of $205 + GST applies for food and beverage vendors, while stalls remain free for food produce suppliers and market stallholders to encourage a wide variety of offerings. Event Details:
Interested businesses must submit their EOI online by 4.30pm on Friday, 19 June 2026. Applicants will be notified of the outcome by Friday, 26 June 2026. Successful applicants will need to provide a current Lismore City Council Food Registration Certificate, a valid Food Safety Supervisor Certificate and evidence of Public Liability Insurance.
