“The Tastes at the Bay Festival is a not-to-be-missed event that sees our local community come alive to the sounds of jazz played by some of Australia’s best musicians. Food and wine lovers are also catered for with a diverse array of gourmet offerings and fine wines,” Member for Port Stephens, Craig Baumann said.
"Last year, more than 28,000 people attended the Tastes at the Bay Festival, with more than 24,000 coming from outside the area, staying an average three nights and contributing more than $10 million to our local community.”
The Tastes at the Bay Festival features an extensive line-up of top talent, including the amazing Wizard and Oz performing on the main stage while the Australian Navy Admiral’s Own Big Band is set to get everyone dancing with its irresistible up tempo beats.
A huge program of fun and entertainment starts in the main township of Nelson Bay and continues onto the waterfront where visitors and locals will find a great selection of gourmet food, local wines, and colourful markets. There is also plenty of family fun on offer with special performances and activities for the children.
