Bungendore Harvest Festival, Saturday 14-16th of April 2023
Event Organiser: Southern Harvest Association (
https://southernharvest.org.au/ )
The Bungendore Harvest Festival wants to encourage the
participation of as many local businesses, organisations, entertainers and groups as possible. Together we can
promote Bungendore as a regional food, wine, arts and tourism destination, profile
our amazing regional produce, celebrate our history and continue
to build our community.
The Festival is an annual celebration of local, cold climate food, drink and fibre. It explores how produce is grown in this region, where it is grown, where consumers may access it, how to prepare it, use it, eat it and drink it. The Festival occurs across a weekend to encourage overnight visitors to the region and aims to actively promote local businesses and community organisations and foster their growth and sustainability.
Starting FRIDAY evening, and continuing throughout the weekend, local food venues are encouraged to showcase locally sourced food and drinks on their menus for the enjoyment of locals and visitors alike. Assistance with sourcing local produce can be provided via Southern Harvest.
On the SATURDAY, from 10am-2pm the streets of Bungendore will come alive with market stalls, talks, demonstrations, short courses and festive activities.Market stalls will line the streets and could include locally made food and drink, arts and crafts and value added produce. We also welcome demonstrations, info stalls from community organisations and harvest themed activities.
SUNDAY will give visitors the chance to explore further afield and recognise Bungendore as a regional food destination. Visitors will participate in farm and winery tours, sample the freshest and finest local food, and attend half day courses focused on farming, producing, making and creating.
