PEMBERTON MARRON & WINE FESTIVAL


A crowd of between 3,000 and 5,000 people is expected at this year's Marron & Wine Festival in Pemberton.

The first festival was held last year, and proved to be a raging success. And the local community is hoping to build on that this year and once again give us a fantastic day out.

This year the Festival is happening on the Saturday 5th November at the Pemberton Sports Club and along the streets of the town. All Pemberton and Northcliffe businesse,s as well as local artists, crafts people, chefs, clubs, sporting associations, hobbyists and community groups will be displaying and selling their ware's with entertainment throughout the day.

The event will open at 10am on Saturday 5th November. Throughout the day there will be

 

children’s rides, acts, dancing, fishing, Marron displays and local art and craft exhibitions as well as the wine.


A rock wall will also be available (if Pemberton's trees aren't thrilling enough).

The Pemberton Ambassador will be announced during the event and Creative Constructions – taking Recycling to the catwalk will have exhibitions with awards presented on the day. The event will close at 6pm with a local band providing entertainment.

It is anticipated that between 3000 and 5000 people will be attracted to the event, with lots of fun and excitement for young and old.

Registration is now open to local businesses to participate. All Southern Forests businesses as well as local artists, crafts people, chefs, clubs, sporting associations, hobbyists and community groups are encouraged to return the attached form to book a space for their display.

The event will be held in a series of Marquees at the Pemberton Sports Club and in the existing clubs facilities. Display booths are available for local businesses with each booth 3m x 3m (approximately) - enough room for a trestle table and other display/saleable material. Tables and chairs can be provided if required.
