TasteFest is the biggest food, wine and beer event on the Barrington Coast, attracting stallholders from a wide area including Greater Sydney, which has been in lockdown due to the COVID-19 outbreak since June.
TasteFest is generally held on the Taree foreshore in January each year but the escalating pandemic and other factors saw the 2021 event pushed back firstly to March, then October and now to April 2, 2022.
The decision to move the 2021 event was first made in September 2020. At that time, Taree Lions Club's Phil Grisold reasoned that crowd sizes wouldn't be able to be controlled.
In recent years it has attracted patrons from across the Mid Coast, Port Macquarie and Newcastle.
The 2021 event was planned to incorporate the Riverstage which was damaged in the March floods.
