After a three year absence due to COVID-19, the Brisbane Water Oyster Festival is set to return to Woy Woy Lions Park on Sunday, November 12, with applications now open for stall holders.
Peninsula Chamber of Commerce President Matthew Wales said the Chamber did not want to risk holding the event last year because of the high number of visitors to the area.
“However, with life returning to normal, the Chamber is back organising this iconic festival,” he said.
“This year’s the festival is returning to Woy Woy at the Lions Park Reserve with the backing of Central Coast Council.
“The beautiful park on the waterfront is a magnificent setting for a food and wine festival and tasting the famous Sydney Rocks grown locally right here on the Brisbane Water.
“We are heading into our 23rd year of holding the oyster festival and every year it has grown larger and more successful thanks to our Chamber members and the great expertise of our festival managers.
“This year we are fortunate to have Liz Hart of Hart Event Management on board as our event organiser with her extensive event management experience across the Central Coast.
“Liz is well into the planning for this year’s event with food, wine/beer and craft stalls being snapped up quickly.”
G’day Hollywood Productions will provide on-stage entertainment including country music band Pure Nashville, singing the timeless classics of Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson.
During the afternoon the band Pub Crawl will pay tribute to the 70s and 80s with songs from Midnight Oil, Divinyls and INXS.
Wales said this year’s festival would be sponsored by Peninsula Plaza Woy Woy, with more sponsorship packages available in the lead-up.
“The Oyster Festival promotes the Woy Woy Peninsula, our beautiful waterways and presents an opportunity to promote our local oysters and local produce,” he said.
“We have visitors from all over NSW and interstate who, because of the Brisbane Water Oyster Festival, come to enjoy the Woy Woy Peninsula and support our local businesses.
“And that’s what it’s all about, promoting our beautiful area to the rest of the world.
