Saddle up and have your tastebuds ready – Savour the Flavour is back in 2025 and this year we're bringing a generous helping of country flair!
Celebrating our region's past and present as the food bowl of Sydney, Savour the Flavour will showcase the food and beverages made right here in the Hawkesbury. Save the date, get your pink outfits and dancin' boots ready and be at Richmond Oval on Saturday 18 October 2025 from 4pm to 9pm.
Visitors and locals alike will have the chance to sample and purchase delicious food, produce and beverages from local farmers, primary producers and businesses from 50 amazing stalls – our most ever! There will also be cooking demonstrations, live band entertainment, roving entertainers including Phat Brass, carnival rides, giveaways, free face painting and kids workshops, and so much more!
Work up an appetite with our boot scooting workshops – it will be great practice for what's coming as the sun goes down! Current The Voice contest James Van Cooper will infuse the evening with country rock with his band The Jimmys. Get ready for an outrageously good time as you get up and dance or sit back with a tasty treat or a cold bevvy prepared by our bumper line up of market stalls in the beautiful surrounds of Richmond Oval.
The hotly-contested apple pie-eating competition will also make its triumphant return. Test your taste buds and your stomach for your chance to take the 2025 crown! There will also be prizes for best-dressed so go all-out and embrace your passion for pink!
Getting to Richmond is easy. It's a 1.5 hour train ride from the Sydney CBD along the Western and Richmond lines. It's also close to the Richmond Road M7 turnoff, and a short drive from Penrith and the Blue Mountains. Parking is available at Hawkesbury Showground, Richmond Marketplace and around the town centre. Looking to make a day of it? The Savour the Flavour Hawkesbury website now features a wide variety of accommodation options to suit your family and budget.
