Woot! Today is Stanthorpe Show Day. And that means a public holiday in Stanthorpe. There’s something so sentimental and appealing about a country show, and the Stanthorpe Show is right up there in its appeal factor. Is it the fairy floss and show rides? Is it the livestock, produce, and artisan displays? Is it the locals catching up with friends they haven’t seen in a while? Regardless of the reason, a trip to the Stanthorpe Show is fun for all. The Localist knows that sometimes it can be tough to find the best foodie places open on public holidays. Not to worry, we love to make your holidays smooth, easy, and stress-free.
