Glenworth Valley has received a major boost from the State Government ahead of its Glenworth Grazing Food and Wine Festival set to take place this weekend, June 11 and 12.
Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast, Adam Crouch, said an $86,400 grant from the Government’s Regional Events Acceleration Fund will unsure this year’s event is bigger and better than ever.
“Glenworth Valley Food and Wine Festival, in its fourth year of operation, is one of the Central Coast’s most premier highlight events,” Crouch said.
“Over the June long weekend, Glenworth Grazing Food and Wine Festival will house the region’s finest restaurants, boutique stall holders, delicatessens, wineries, craft breweries and distilleries.”
Festival organizer, Mia Lawler, said the funding would be used to enhance an amazing music line-up, and more amenities for guests.
“This funding has allowed us to book a nationally recognised line up, attracting a larger audience, while also being able to improve event infrastructure with increased seating, shelter and amenities,” Lawler said.
“It has allowed us to not only improve the quality of this year’s festival but appeal to a larger and more diverse audience than ever before, ensuring the longevity and significance of the event while stimulating the regional economy.”
With over 80 local vendors, the festival will feature food from the region’s top restaurants, a huge range of craft beers, premium wines, handmade gins as well as children’s entertainment.
