Footy fans and beer lovers, clear your calendars because the Beer Footy and Food Festival is heading to the NSW South Coast for the first time in 2025! The beloved festival that celebrates everything we love – great beer, delicious food, and rugby league – is joining forces with Group 7 Rugby League for their inaugural Magic Round.
After another successful BFFF series in 2024, the Beer Footy and Food Festival is thrilled to have the opportunity to take the event on the road again and partner with Group 7 – heading to the newly renovated Royal Artie Smith oval, Bomaderry. The day promises to be one for the books, and will add to the rich 110+ years of Rugby League History on the beautiful South Coast.
BUT!! it's not just about the footy! The festival will feature an impressive lineup of 20+ craft brewers, food trucks and vendors that fans have come to know and love. DJs will be spinning tunes throughout the day and the kids and families will be looked after with a dedicated family area and kids inflatable world.
And of course, what's a Beer Footy and Food Festival without a tonne of Rugby League! The mighty Group 7, renowned as being the greatest nursery for Rugby League talent in Australia (if not the world) will be looking after the footy, hosting its inaugural Magic Round with four massive games, back to back from their Premier First Grade Competition
1st Grade: Stingrays of Shellharbour v Gerringong Lions 5.15pm
1st Grade: Nowra-Bomaderry Jets v Shellharbour Sharks 3.30pm
1st Grade: Jamberoo Superoos v Albion Park-Oak Flats Eagles 1.45pm

More than just footy
In the era of big stadia, the Beer Footy & Food Festival is a step back in time to when going to the footy was a weekly ritual to look forward to, a day out for family and friends to sit on the hill, to throw the footy around at half time and to watch a bit of footy every now and again.
The Beer Footy and Food Festival is more than just an epic day out, it's a way of life! Bringing together footy fans, beer enthusiasts and foodies for a shared experience. Each event boasts a curated selection of local craft breweries showcasing their finest brews and a range of gourmet food stalls to tantalize your tastebuds…plus plenty of other surprises along the way!
