Celebrate the Central Coast’s spectacular hinterland during the June long weekend for Harvest Festival
Harvest Festival offers the rare chance to take a glimpse behind the farm gate as you explore multiple rural farming communities and their picturesque heritage villages right here on the Central Coast.
We are celebrating our fantastic local produce from around the region. We ask all attendees to be respectful when visiting locally owned properties and farms, and we thank all the event hub partners who are opening their gates and giving us a glimpse of what they do every day.
