Organisers are catering for a maximum of 300 people - more than three times the capacity of last year's event: a sell-out at just over 80 diners.
The meals will be built of produce from within 100 miles - and even the canapes will have a twist: they'll be cooked on a hydrogen battery-powered barbecue.
At a long table at Manilla Showgrounds, guests will feast al fresco on a three-course menu, catered by Swan Fine Foods of Barraba.
Organised by Manilla Community Renewable Energy (MCRE), the event will also update people on the Manilla Solar Project.
MCRE's Emma Stilts said the menu promised "the most delicious food" that "goes to the next level".
It includes coffee-spiced beef brisket, and meringues with raspberry mascarpone and edible flowers.

"It's food that's more complicated than you can cook yourself but at an affordable price," Ms Stilts said.
The night will be family-friendly and there will even be a jumping castle for the kids. There will be buses from Tamworth.
The event will also celebrate 20 years of Tamworth Regional Landcare Association, and president Paul Moxon will talk about the group's extensive environmental work and what the future holds.
A five-piece live band from the Hunter Valley, Magpie Diaries, will entertain and local ecologist Phil Spark will lead a nocturnal nature walk.
The event is sponsored by Sustainable Northwest and Tamworth Regional Landcare.
