Sound like a holiday in some sort of far off land?
It's not.
That's exactly what residents will be treated to when they get themselves to this year's Leeton Chill and Grill event on October 26 at the town ovals carpark.
Last year the event was held at that location for the first time, with organisers transferring it to a delightful entertainment area complete with delicious food, drinks and entertainment.
Leeton Shire Council events officer Hannah Fitzsimon is working on making this year's Chill and Grill even better in 2019.
"The planning is shaping up quite well," she said.
"We wouldn't mind a few more stallholders, we're probably on par with last year at the moment, so it would be nice to get a few extra.
"We've got all sorts of food available on the night, there will be plenty to eat and drink."

Community groups wanting to make some cash from the twilight event have been invited to submit an expression of interest to council.
The idea will be for them to help out with the setting up and packing up of the event, as well as looking after the entry points.
In return, a donation will be directed to the group.
Miss Fitzsimon said last year's Chill and Grill had been the most successful one so far and was hopeful it could be topped once again.
"Last year was the first time we that we had held it at the town ovals carpark and I think people were finding it a bit hard to imagine what that would all look like before it was held," she said.
"Now that it's been there I think people understand the vibe we're going for."
All sorts of delicious items will be on the menu at the event, including everything from Thai and paella to Buddha bowls and sweet treats.
The entertainment factor is also one to look out for with Scruffy Monty back on deck again.
The event will be held on October 26 from 4pm to 9pm.
