The rich stories and flavours of WA's northernmost region will be up for sampling when Taste of the Kimberley returns next month.
From August 15-17, Kununnura will play host to the foodie festival that aims to celebrate the agricultural wonderland that is the Ord Valley through a series of farm to plate activations.
Guests will have myriad opportunities to discover the origins of the area's famed produce over three days and meet the farmers who are fusing tradition with innovation to ensure the industry continues to thrive.
A highlight of Taste of the Kimberley 2025 will again be FEASTival, which welcomes gourmands of all ages to the Kununurra Picture Gardens for an evening of entertainment and gastronomic delights.

Watch teams compete in sausage-making showdown Sizzlefest, listen to yarns from local growers on the farmers panel, hear enchanting music from homegrown heroes and enjoy a bounty of food and drink experiences under the stars.
Elsewhere on the program, the Behind The Gates farm tours will offer an opportunity to understand the inner-workings of leading agriculture businesses.

Ord Valley Events board chair Sophie Cooke says the return of Taste of the Kimberley is meaningful for visitors and producers alike.
'This festival puts our region on the map as the agricultural heart of the North — it's an invitation to explore the fields, meet the people behind our world-class produce and savour the flavours and stories that make the Kimberley so special,' Cooke says.
'From immersive farm tours to open-air evenings filled with local flavours and live music under the Kimberley sky, guests can expect a genuine locals' welcome, extraordinary food experiences, and a weekend that celebrates the innovation and community spirit driving our valley forward.'
