BananaFest will be held at our national icon, The Big Banana Fun Park, on May 6 and 7 and we can’t wait!
This festival will be a celebration of music, food, local breweries, distilleries and wineries and it will showcase the history and cultural significance the banana industry has for our region. Management of The Big Banana and Event Organisers hope this event will become a signature event for the Coffs Coast to be proud of.
The Big Banana CEO Michael Lockman said: “It is very exciting to see The Big Banana’s vision of BananaFest coming to fruition. This has been a goal of ours for many years and to have the support of the NSW Government means that we are finally in a position to add this to the calendar of events on the Coffs Coast. “A family friendly two-day festival with great local food, music, culture and most importantly celebrating The Banana in every sense of the word. We are very much looking forward to working alongside the talents of Carl and Sherry from Another Tasty Event, along with many local suppliers to deliver the very first BananaFest 2023.”
Another Tasty Event’s Carl Mower said BananaFest exemplified his organisation’s ability to host signature events on the Coffs Coast, with a proven track record of bringing visitors to town and stimulating the local economy. “We’re particularly proud BananaFest will focus on access and inclusion for all,” Mr Mower said.
