Sample Food Festival
A Taste Of Northern New South Wales
Each year foodies from far and wide have the opportunity to “sample” the best food and beverage, Northern New South Wales has to offer. The region’s top restaurants compete for the coveted “Gold Fork” awards and collaborate on a special luncheon. Stall holders will also have the opportunity through a targeted networking program to create new business relationships and further strengthen local business industries.
We look forward to seeing you all at our 2021 events.
