Be part of something special as we showcase our beautiful hinterland. Harvest Festival returns in June 2025 and we’re inviting you to help bring it to life!

Harvest Festival is presented by Central Coast Council over the June long weekend and is made possible through the unique experiences, tours and events offered by each of our event hubs. If you want to be part of this exciting event, applications are now open.

This event grows in popularity each year and attracts thousands of people to the hinterland, with this year’s Harvest Festival drawing an estimated 51,000 attendees, resulting in an economic boost of $6.1 million for our region.

We want to create a diverse program for the 7-8 June 2025 Harvest Festival with a variety of activities on offer for locals and visitors. This is a great opportunity to create your own event hub that showcases the hinterland environment, Indigenous and cultural heritage, local produce, industry, arts and culture.

If you’re a local farmer, business, organisation, or community group based in the hinterland or planning to host an activity there, we encourage you to join us at the 2025 Harvest Festival.

Not sure how to get involved? Event hub experiences or ideas might include:

• Farm open days, tours or talks

• Food experiences with local produce, cooking demonstrations or local dining events
• Indigenous cultural experiences/bush tucker tours
• Cinema under the stars
• Art events / installations
• Live music and entertainment events
• Family fun events
• Markets

• Other experiences, activities or events that showcase the hinterland and its culture.

Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity - join us in celebrating our vibrant region!
