November 2025 is bursting with things to see and do across the Greater Port Macquarie region — from the coast to the hinterland. Music lovers can enjoy a full line-up of live performances, including local favourites like Chloe Neilsen and Jonah James at The Bowl, Autumn Blue and The Bounty Hunters at Panthers and The Terrace, and the Robertson Brothers and James Morrison at the Glasshouse. There’s also no shortage of theatre and entertainment, with The Nutcracker, Queen Forever, and Billy Elliot the Musical lighting up the stage. For those looking to unwind, the region’s wineries, distilleries, and breweries are buzzing with tastings, live music, and relaxed country charm — perfect for warm spring evenings
The month also brings an exciting calendar of special events that showcase our community’s creativity and culture. Explore exhibitions like New Exuberance and JOY at the Glasshouse and Luminance Art Gallery, or get hands-on at one of Sunset Framing & Gallery’s creative workshops — from silk painting to Christmas crafts. Don’t miss the Wauchope Highland Gathering, the Hideaway Festival, and the Garage Sale Trail for a weekend of fun and local flair. Families can enjoy the Melbourne Cup celebrations at venues across the region, or take part in the Cardboard Boat Regatta, Coastal Walk Against Domestic and Family Violence, or the Kids Christmas Party and Market Day at Wauchope RSL
There’s truly something for everyone this November markets, cruises, live music, art, sport, and community spirit at every turn. Whether you’re keen to try something new, support local artists and venues, or simply soak up the festive atmosphere, it’s the perfect time to get out and explore. Check the event details and websites for times and bookings, gather your friends or family, and make the most of what our incredible region has to offer this month. Don’t just read about it — be part of it!
