Saturday 9th August: Broome Chilli Festival Gourmet Trail

Join us for the 3rd year… jump on and off the Tram at four of the best restaurants in Broome for a culinary experience full of spice and fun times! Who will take out the People’s Choice in 2025? Join us at Broome Lotteries House on Saturday, 9th August at 11:15am for a welcome drink and nibbles before we hop aboard tram. We’ll be visiting four local restaurants, each serving up a specially crafted chilli-inspired dish for you to judge. 18+ event.

Each venue will welcome you with a complimentary beverage, and you’ll have time to relax, enjoy the food, and purchase more drinks if you wish before heading to the next stop. We have organised it so the last stop is Matso's Broome, that way you can still enjoy the Cause 4 Paws 2025 event too helping raise money for SAFE Broome!

Cast your vote for the People’s Choice!

We will be visiting 4 of the best venues in Broome!

- Spinifex Cable Beach
- The Oaks Broome
