Eat & Drink

Good food, great drinks and the best kind of cold-weather appetite

One of the best things about a winter night out? You can really eat. The Mansfield Lantern Festival brings together a handpicked selection of food and drink vendors serving up some of the best the High Country has to offer – from quick and satisfying to slow and delicious.

Our 2026 vendor lineup will be announced here as confirmations come in. Keep an eye on this page and follow us on Instagram to be the first to know.

From a classic sausage in bread to gourmet burgers, baos and everything in between – there’s something for every appetite and every age. We curate our vendor list carefully, with a focus on quality, local produce and makers who genuinely love what they do.

Feel free to bring your own food if you’d like – just note that the festival area falls within a licenced zone, so BYO alcohol is not permitted.

The High Country is home to some of Victoria’s finest wine, craft beer and spirits. Our bar lineup celebrates exactly that – local drops, made with care, best enjoyed around an open fire on a cold June night.

WANT TO BE A VENDOR?

We’d love to hear from you. Vendor applications for 2026 are open via our Contact page. We focus on quality local and regional producers — it’s what our festival-goers expect and what we’re proud to deliver.

Vendor applications for 2026 can be found on our contact page.
