A massive thank you to all of the contributors, big and small for their ongoing commitment to the region and industry.
As many a punter will attest, the Gascoyne Food Festival is a regional event like no other. The pure magic of it’s sun-kissed venues, unique country charm and world class cuisine clinching its place in the hearts of all who visit. To top it off, the festival also provides the region with a much-needed spotlight to shine on the incredible fresh food it supplies, amazing tourist attractions and resilient community.
The Gascoyne Food Council, like many regional organisations, survives due to the commitment of passionate individuals who provide countless hours of their time to make things happen. However, despite the huge benefits that the festival creates for the region, each year it is a challenge to fund which means that the support of business and government is crucial to get the event off the ground.
“The Gascoyne Food Festival provides a showcase of our region, contributes to the economy, generates interest in our produce from potential buyers and shows the world what we have to offer – from the stunning beaches and countryside to seafood, rangelands meats, and fruit and vegetables,” says Gascoyne Food Council Spokesperson, Doriana Mangili.
“We are so appreciative of the support we have from sponsors to get this event up and running year after year, from grant funding to purchasing crockery and the supply of top class wines for our flagship event – the Long Table Lunch in Carnarvon – every contribution is amazing” Doriana said.
Now with only days until the tenth Gascoyne Food Festival, it is time to once again acknowledge the critical support behind the scenes that makes it all possible. The Gascoyne Food Council would like to thank all of the organisations listed below for their highly valued contributions.
