COLLINGWOOD Food FESTIVAL

This Festival is taking a break for the next few years.  Should be back soon.

Collingwood Rugby Grounds

This is always a must do when in Golden Bay.  Its a great day out for all the family.  There is live music all day long, plenty of different types of foods to try like scallops, mussels, vension, goat, wallaby and much more.  There is also a hangi and a spit roast.  For the kids will be a bouncy castle and water slide.  There is a pay bar and to get home there is a courtesy coach.  Dont forget to have a go in the Wife Carrying Race.  Its always a great laugh with good prizes for the winner..


  
 


All proceeds from The Collingwood Food Festival go to The Collingwood Rugby Club.  This is their one big fundraiser for the year.  Collingwood Rugby has been going for 125 years and in that time has never failed to put a team on the field.  Money raized again this year will help keep that record going strong.  For more info on The Collingwood Rugby Team, please click here.
