October has arrived, bringing warmer weather, school holidays and one of the busiest event calendars of the year across the Port Macquarie Hastings region. This month our community will welcome thousands of visitors for major events including the Port Macquarie Cup, Ironman Australia, Hideaway Festival, the Camden Haven Show, Walk to Defeat MND and the Hello Koalas Festival and Treasure Hunt, alongside a fantastic program of live entertainment, markets, exhibitions and family-friendly activities.
Our region continues to shine as a destination where visitors can enjoy world-class events while supporting the many local businesses, attractions, hospitality venues and community organisations that make our area so special. Whether you’re cheering on athletes, attending a festival, exploring our hinterland, or simply enjoying a meal with friends, there’s no shortage of opportunities to connect with our community and experience all that the region has to offer.
