It’s time for local farmers, businesses and event organisers to express their interest in being part of Central Coast Council’s 2025 Harvest Festival.
The festival is one of the largest and most successful events on the Central Coast with expressions of interest in participation in next year’s event open until November 22.
Council Director of Community and Recreation Services Melanie Smith said the annual event highlights and supports the region’s hinterland and rural farming communities through the delivery of lively event hubs.
“Its popularity grows each year and attracts thousands of people to our region’s hinterland from near and far,” she said.
“This year’s festival presented a range of events and experiences across 30 event hubs and drew an estimated 51,000 attendees, resulting in an economic boost of $6.1M for our region.
“It’s a great opportunity for local businesses, companies, organisations or community groups to create their own event hub to showcase the hinterland environment, indigenous and cultural heritage, local produce, industry, arts, culture or communities through a variety of experiences or activities.”
Next year’s festival will be held on June 7 and 8.
Event hub experiences or event ideas could include: farm open days, tours or talks; pick your own produce; food experiences with local produce, cooking demonstrations or local dining events; Indigenous cultural experiences/bush tucker tours; cinema under the stars; art events/installations; live music and entertainment events; family fun events; markets; obstacle course races or fun runs; and any other experiences, activities or events that showcase the hinterland and its culture.
Expressions of Interest to participate in the 2025 Harvest Festival must be submitted online by 2pm on November 22.
