Central Coast Harvest Festival

Harvest Festival, Central Coast

The Central Coast Harvest Festival is back this June long weekend (Saturday 7 – Sunday 8 June 2025), bringing all the wholesome fun, fresh produce and country charm we love, right across our beautiful hinterland.

This annual festival celebrates our rural communities on the western side of the M1 (or F3 to those still holding on). Visitors get the a rare chance to immerse themselves in the farms and villages that grow, make and craft so much of what we love. With over 35 event hubs in Somersby, Peats Ridge, Mangrove Mountain, Spencer, Jilliby, Dooralong, Wyong, Yarramalong, Kulnura and beyond – it’s the kind of weekend that brings the whole region to life.

There’s a bit of everything going on. From farm tours, pick-your-own experiences, market stalls and tractor rides, to food and wine tastings, live music, workshops – there are so many reasons we look forward to Harvest Festival every year. It’s one of those weekends that ends up being heaps of fun without trying too hard.
