Many businesses on the Central Coast have affiliation with our neighbouring region of Hunter/Newcastle and this is an area of collaboration we look towards - bringing a broader market base and expansion into areas previously unexplored.

Competing in the award category for Best Exhibition, the 2011 Central Coast Buy Local Festival with a Twist was selected from hundreds of entries from across Australia and an incredibly diverse range of industries to make the list of just three finalists in this category.
