Statement for Harvest Postponement 
 
It is with regret that we announce that this Saturday’s Harvest Festival has been postponed due to health risks associated with the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus). The safety of our community is our first priority and in light of this we have made the difficult decision to postpone this year’s festival. For more information on the coronavirus visit www.health.gov.au or call the coronavirus hotline on 1800 675 398.

The Collingwood Harvest Festival is a community developed event held at Harmsworth Park in Collingwood.

 

It celebrates the diverse communities of the housing estates of Collingwood, Richmond and Fitzroy. Originally conceived to celebrate the harvest of the year from the community garden, the event has today evolved to include the harvesting traditions of the diverse and rich communities residing in the housing estates and also creates access and support for the local community through the meaningful partnerships it fosters. Food stalls provide cultural catering while different groups and agencies collaborate and provide activities for children and families. Many local visual artists, musicians and performers participate, making this a truly local festival cultivated from community aspirations.
