With a regional events calendar bursting at the seams this April, Tamworth Regional Council confirms that the 2022 Taste Tamworth Festival will be postponed to Spring, 2022.
Director of Growth and Prosperity, Jacqueline O'Neill said that the decision was made in consideration of the rescheduled Toyota Country Music Festival, Tamworth and the already packed March and April events calendar across the region including the Fiesta La Peel Multicultural Street Festival (rescheduled from October 2021), Barraba Show, Manilla Show and events at venues Entertainment Venues and the Australian Equine and Livestock Events Centre (AELEC).
"The Taste Tamworth Festival is a major highlight on the Tamworth social and events calendar," she said.
"The postponement of the Toyota Country Music Festival, Tamworth has added to an already busy period on the region's events calendar, and for the staff, contractors and suppliers who work across multiple events.
"By postponing Taste to Spring 2022, we give visitors another reason to explore the Tamworth region later in the year and can ensure the event gets the necessary resourcing and attention it deserves from Council's perspective."
Council is working with suppliers and other event stakeholders to reschedule the event, with dates to be announced in the coming months. Taste Tamworth Festival was previously scheduled to take place from Friday 1 April to Monday 4 April this year.
