Reading Time: 3 minutes

Harvest Festival, Central Coast

The Central Coast Harvest Festival is returning to our gorgeous hinterland region again this coming June long weekend, the 8 and 9 June 2024. The festival is a celebration of our farming and rural communities and villages. A unique opportunity to get a glimpse behind the farm gates and have a truly authentic and rich family weekend out exploring the region. With over 30 participating hubs in the following areas: Somersby, Peats Ridge, Mangrove Mountain, Spencer, Jilliby, Dooralong, Wyong, Yarramalong, and Kulnura.

Across the 30-something vibrant hubs festival goers can expect lively atmospheres filled with live music, free entertainment, dancing, immersive learning experiences with insights into how our farms, nurseries and more work, and of course an abundance of fresh local produce.

There will be farm tours, fruit picking, a food and wine fair, dancing and of course, simply taking in the breathtaking scenery of a part of our Coast that in its own right is as exquisite as our Coastline (that often tends to take the glory).
