Attendees were treated to performances by local bands and could participate in hands-on activities, such as a circus school.

The festival also offered an array of food options and informative talks covering diverse topics like electric vehicles, land care, and local Aboriginal knowledge.

Organisers expressed their satisfaction with the day’s proceedings, noting that the event went off without a hitch.

Committee member Julian Bowker said they were pleasantly surprised by the large attendance on the day.

“We expected about 4,000 visitors yet we welcomed almost 7,000 according to our tally counters on the gates,” she said.

“The food vendors sold out, so that was good too.”

In addition to providing a fun and educational experience, Woytopia raised funds for local charities, further contributing to the community.

The festival’s success highlights the Central Coast’s strong support for sustainable living and community engagement.
