THE highly anticipated Felton Food Festival is almost here with a huge line-up of events and tantalising taste delights to wow the thousands of people expected.

And to cap off what looks to be a huge schedule of events, the Bureau of Meteorology has forecast fine weather for the annual event at Felton.

Partly cloudy skies are tipped for most of the day with temperatures ranging from 17 to 30 degrees and a 10% chance of rain.

It means great conditions for the thousands of people expected to experience the regional flavour delights and events south of Toowoomba.

Five venues will be running at the Bryces Rd site, each offering different events throughout the day.
