Returning across the June long weekend, the Central Coast Harvest Festival is set to take over the region with a weekend-long celebration of local food across six rural hubs. Farmers will be on hand to give you a glimpse behind the gates with tours, fruit picking and the chance to feed the animals. Plus, Glenworth Grazing Festival is back with plenty of local produce to buy and live music to enjoy and for the first time, Harvest Nights extends the festival after dark with late-night events including an open-air cinema under the stars. Kicking off from Saturday, June 6 until Sunday, June 7, head here for the full program.
There’s something special about NSW’s Central Coast. Golden beaches, a laid-back energy, ever-developing food scene, hot live music offerings and the fact that it’s just a breezy 90-minute drive north of Sydney. And this is the perfect time to pack the car and head up the M1 (or take the train). With a stacked calendar of events – many of them free – and a coastline in all its glory, there’s never been a better excuse for a weekend escape. Think markets, outdoor gigs, delicious food and plenty of spots to soak up the views.
So, whether you’re keen for an affordable local getaway or simply not ready to go into hibernation just yet, pack your bags, queue up your road trip playlist and hit the road. Here’s your guide to the best things to do on the Central Coast this June.
