About Savour the Flavour
Savour the Flavour
is "a festival of flavours" with free entry. This family-friendly event is the perfect way to celebrate delicious food, produce and beverages from Hawkesbury farmers and businesses all in one place.

Savour the Flavour is more than a food festival, it's an opportunity to celebrate the Hawkesbury and surrounds past, present and future as Sydney's original ‘food bowl’. The Hawkesbury region produces some of Australia’s best fresh food and plays a critical role (and always has!) in feeding Sydney and areas well beyond.  Proudly brought to you by Hawkesbury City Council, and event sponsors, Savour the Flavour was created to support and showcase local producers and the wonderful food and produce made, grown and available right here. The inaugural event was held in 2022, and each year has proven even bigger and better visitors can expect live food demonstrations, local delights family friendly fun all set in historic Richmond Park.
