The Tomingley Harvest Festival welcomes families across the Central West on Saturday and Sunday, December 17 to 18, for a Christmas market and live entertainment.

The event will be held at Quentin Park Alpacas and Studio Gallery between 10am and 4pm, showcasing the region’s best products.

Owner Amee Dennis said there will be more than 20 stalls, entertainment, activities for children, including a jumping castle, face painting, games, alpaca feeding and food vans.

Ms Dennis held a Christmas market last year but received funding from the state government to expand the event.

“The Crossroad Hotel in Tomingley will have live music and there will be camping available at the racetrack so people can make a weekend out of it,” Ms Dennis said.

“We’re so excited to have a great weekend with good weather.

“It’s an opportunity for us to get together and ease into the school holidays.

“This year has been a challenging farming year so it’s an opportunity for us to celebrate the end of the year together.

“With agriculture being the biggest industry in our region, it is important that we take recognition as a community.”

Ms Dennis said market stall vendors will be supporting the event as they are coming from various areas.
