An eclectic and diverse program will showcase the local food, wine, beer, produce, and art of the Chittering region with market stalls, pop-up dining, cooking demonstrations, live music and family entertainment.
This year, exciting new additions to the program include guided electric bike tours where guests can soak up Chittering’s green rolling hills and valleys, fragrant citrus orchards and stunning Spring wildflowers.
