CELEBRATE WITH US AT THE 2026 JUNCTION AWARDS CEREMONY DINNER

Wednesday 24 June, 6pm | 8 Wired Barrelworks & Tap Room

Returning for 2026, the Junction Awards Dinner brings together the region’s business community for a night of connection, recognition, and celebration.

Held at 8 Wired Barrelworks & Tap Room, this year’s event promises a warm and welcoming atmosphere, where guests can gather to acknowledge the people and businesses shaping our local landscape. It’s an evening that goes beyond awards – a chance to come together, share stories, and celebrate the strength of our community.

Guests will be welcomed with a complimentary cocktail, created in collaboration with 8 Wired, before enjoying a thoughtfully curated three-course menu by Chef Cam Travan of Slice and Sizzle. The evening begins with grazing plates, followed by mains such as aromatic beef koftas in a rich tomato sauce, succulent oven-baked chicken, and honey-roasted mushrooms, before finishing with a bespoke vanilla bean cake layered with vanilla bean swiss meringue and fresh strawberry compote by Four Little Birds Patisserie.

Live music from Lou Perkins will set the tone throughout the evening, creating a relaxed and enjoyable backdrop as category winners are announced and the overall Junction Award recipient is revealed.

With tickets selling quickly each year, the Junction Awards Dinner is a highlight on the local calendar – an opportunity to celebrate success, support local, and be part of something special.
