Harvest Festival 2023 will be a celebration of

FOOD, FARMING AND ARTISTRY

The Bungendore Harvest Festival is an annual celebration of the integrity and freshness of the region’s local produce, cold climate food, drink and fibre. It explores and promotes 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.

After a number of quiet years, used to recuperate and regroup, Southern Harvest is planning a huge festival for 2023. We’ll be back in the streets of the town with food events, markets, entertainment, demonstrations, tours, workshops and more.

ALL WEEKEND TASTING

Eat your way through the festival starting on Friday 14th with the Harvest Festival Launch Event, and continuing throughout the weekend, you can taste your way around a myriad of local eating establishments showcasing locally sourced ingredients and products. The Harvest Festival Market on Saturday will also have a huge choice of local foods, breakfast morning tea and lunch, prepared by the growers themselves. The Festival culminates in our Harvest Heritage Long Lunch on Sunday.
