The Caxton Street Seafood and Wine Festival is an annual event in Brisbane, Australia. It was founded in 1994 by the Caxton Street Development Association to promote Caxton Street, in historic Petrie Terrace, as an area for Australian music, food and drink, plus art and history. The area is near to the Suncorp Stadium and the Brisbane central business district.
The festival was held annually on the Sunday of the Labour Day long weekend in May, until 2013; since 2014, it has been held on the Queen's Birthday long weekend in June.
By 2012, the festival had attracted more than 15,000 patrons. Ticket proceeds were donated to various Queensland charities (in 2012 to the Wesley Hospital Kim Walters Choices Program).
