The festival will commence at 10am with the official opening and the first Stomp at 10.30am. Again the Great Cessnock Stomp will be the feature on centre stage. Stompers stomping for two minutes to squeeze as much grape juice out as they possibly can with their feet.
With 600 metres of festival fun, it offers something for everyone, showcasing wineries, breweries, local businesses, food stalls, markets and local organisations.
The VIP Indulgence Experience promises a real treat: an hour session with wine, gourmet food, a visit from Hunter Valley winemakers Brian McGuigan and Colin Peterson, MKR celebrity Jason Chesworth, music and a goodie bag. Tickets are $35, don’t miss out and book today.
If you want a place to explore then drop by the Peterson House Bubbles and Beauty Marquee, indulge in local bubbles, cider and wines while being pampered by local beauty businesses. The Beer Haven is set to be another great attraction to enjoy a brew or two from breweries.
The Stomp Festival truly has something for everyone. The Woolworths Kids Zone has rides to keep the kids busy. A new area to the festival this year is the Bunning’s Family Corner, an area with face painting, large games, free fruit from Cessnock Woolworths, activities with Cessnock PCYC and a visit from Hunter Valley Zoo.
