Delicious shire art deco high tea
THE fashion and the sumptuous treats will be the protagonist at the Tropical Art Deco Festival’s premier event the 'High Tea' next week.
Members of the Innisfail and District Historical Society and special guests are finalising details for the high tea, having picked the treats that will be on display at the Shire Hall on Rankin St for the festival’s glamorous and delicious event on Sunday, September 8.
“The selection of food on offer is fabulous,” said society president Trish Ernst.
“It was difficult to choose what will be on the menu and, for now, we’re keeping it to ourselves,” she said.
The high tea has returned to the magnificent art deco-era Shire Hall, extending the festival event program to eight days, culminating in the very popular vintage market on Sunday, September 15.
The high tea will feature sumptuous sweet and savoury treats, with a nod to the elegance of the era in presentation and décor. Prizes will be on offer for those who dress to impress in their art deco fashions.
The entertainment on offer will feature the Innisfail Community Band, Danceworks Academy, Temple Rain Belly Dancers and a fashion parade presented by Larsens and Calico Tropic.
New to the festival program in the following week are the craft workshops, and a paint and sip workshop featuring the town’s iconic Bluebird Café.
