After the popularity of last year’s inaugural event, SportsFest is back again in September, and will showcase a variety of Central Coast sports and recreational opportunities.

This family-friendly event will be held over the weekend of 22-23 September, from 10am-5pm, at Bateau Bay’s EDSACC sporting precinct on the Central Coast Highway.

Central Coast Council Acting Director Assets, Infrastructure and Business, Boris Bolgoff said that this is a not-to-be-missed event.

“SportsFest’s festivities will include interactive sporting activities, professional demonstrations, live entertainment, market and food stalls and a dedicated KidZone,” said Mr Bolgoff.

“Over 40 sporting codes and numerous related organisations have already secured their place as exhibitors so there’s sure to be something for everyone’s taste – from the water to the court, from traditional to the more obscure and everything in between.”

Mayor Jane Smith says that Council is proud to be running SportsFest again this year and looks forward to promoting a fun and free community event that promotes healthy living.

“SportsFest encourages residents of all ages and ability to get connected and active in our sports community, through active participation, volunteering or spectator support,” Mayor Smith said.

“We are pleased to invest in an event that not only will appeal to all ages, but also supports local businesses, groups and organisations that encourage active lifestyles.”

SportsFest’s proud partnerships include NSW Office of Sport, Sport NSW, Central Coast Academy of Sport and official media partners, Star 104.5 FM.
