Mandate Festival – April 21, 2018 – Toowoomba
Now in it’s 3rd year, the Mandate Festival is a great day out for young and old. It is a celebration of all things BBQ, BEARDS, BEER and MUSIC and the brainchild of Dan Graff, owner of Beard Boutique. Bigwig Jerky has been lucky to be involved since the first Mandate back in 2016 which was a great event well received by the Toowoomba locals. The Mandate philosophy is all about good times with mates shared over a plate of BBQ, washed down with a beer or whiskey whilst enjoying tunes from local music acts. A feature of the event is the Beard and Moustache competition which draws competitors from across South-East Queensland to show off their pride and joy to be crowned the hairy champion. On sale in the market stalls will be everything from BBQ Rubs, Beef Jerky, Chilli Sauces, Chocolate, Whisky, donuts, there will even be an onsite barber ready to cut you a killer haircut. If you are looking for a great day out then Mandate is a must

If all the BBQ makes you thirsty then you can wet your whistle with a selection of beers and cider from 20 local and national breweries including Pirate Life, Newstead Brewing & Mountain Goat. BBQ food stalls will be available on the day cooking up favorites such as ribs, pulled pork, brisket and snags and market stalls selling everything from Jerky to BBQ Grills.
