Taste of Toukley was so successful last year that it is returning in June – along with a new Taste of Wyong community event.
Central Coast Council has partnered with 12 eateries to present the two events – with a limited number of free tasting boxes at each town up for grabs on the day!
Taste of Toukley will be held from noon-3pm on Saturday, June 3, on the Toukley Village Green and Taste of Wyong will take place from 11am-2pm on Saturday, June 10 at Wyong Town Park.
Council Director of Community and Culture, Melanie Smith, said the events would be a treat for all the senses.
“There will be family friendly activities at each location, including workshops, craft activities, face painting, a petting zoo with baby animal feeding, roving entertainment along with live entertainment and giveaways from local businesses,” she said.
“I encourage our community to bring your friends and family along to the Taste of Wyong and Taste of Toukley community events and support local businesses.”
Each eatery will manage its own distribution of tasting boxes and you will need to visit one of the participating restaurants on the day and use the codewords “I love Toukley” on June 3 and “I love Wyong” on June 10 to receive a free box (numbers are limited and conditions apply).
Taste of Toukley participating eateries are: Mexicoast Cantina, 243 Main Rd; Sorrisos by Dish, 268 Main Rd; Spices Indian Restaurant, 231 Main Rd; Noble Thai, 49 Canton Beach Rd; and What the Pho, 266 Main Rd.
Taste of Wyong participating eateries are: Chapman Coffee House, 9/14-16 Alison Rd; Chick’n Korean Fried, 10/14-16 Alison Rd; Eva’s Corner, 108 Pacific Hwy; Hungry Wolf’s Wyong, shop 14, 18-34 Alison Rd; Jerry Sent Me, 7/14-16 Alison Rd; Sirone’s Pizza by the Meter, 7/1-11 Alison Rd; and Woodblock Bar & Grill, 3 Hely St.
Council Administrator Rik Hart said placemaking events in town centres benefitted both local businesses and the community.
“The Taste of Toukley and Taste of Wyong supports local businesses (and) contributes to the local economy, as well as creating vibrant hubs and experiences for locals and visitors to enjoy,” he said.
“This is one way that Council helps to improve, activate and maintain town centres.”
The Taste of Wyong is one of the event hubs of the 2023 Harvest Festival.
