About Me
CoastFest is back, we have sourced a great new waterfront venue for a new and re-vamped Festival which will take place 5,6,7 September 2008.CoastFest will take place at Point Wolstoncroft, just 1.5hrs North of Sydney, and 30mins South of Newcastle near Gwandalan on beautiful Lake Maquarie.The Event will be primarily a music Festival and will encourage “non-mainstream†genres, such as Traditional Folk, World Music, Blues and Roots, as well as Alternative, Fusion and Contemporary Acoustic Music. The Festival will also be a celebration of the Art & Culture of the Central Coast and will include, dance, theatre, visual arts and crafts. It will also encourage participation by various cultural and community groups who will be able to demonstrate and share their skills, customs, beliefs and modes of spirituality, both during the festival and throughout the planning process.The new venue is fantastic, and well suited to a community focused family friendly event. It has great infrastructure including two large Venues a large "Village Green"
and a selection of cabins and lodge accommodation as well as camping. There is plenty of scope for many of the activities we have included in the past, plus we also have the added ability to offer other activities such as sailing, canoeing, archery to name a few.The site is surrounded by water and bushland will be transformed by a vibrant sea of colour, with decorations, heaps of market stalls,and art installations that will re-create that magical CoastFest atmosphere.
