Bring Back the Festival!

Dear Festival Supporter,

As you know, March 2024 closed the curtain on the Tasmanian Garlic & Tomato Festival – at least as we know it. With a change in circumstances for some of its key members, the committee made the reluctant decision to put the much loved festival to bed as it also celebrated its 10th Anniversary.

But it need not be the end.

The TGTF Committee has to make some decisions about the future of the Organisation and would like to hear from anyone with an interest in joining a new-look committee to take on and re-imagine the festival.

This may be a community group (such as a gardening group) or maybe a like-minded group of individuals. A new event need not be the same as the previous one.

What is there to work with?

  • An incorporated not-for-profit Organisation
  • A venue (if required)
  • Some funds
  • Substantial infrastructure and equipment
  • Mentoring & support
  • An excellent reputation

We will be holding our Annual General Meeting in mid August and need to make some decisions about future directions before that.

For further information or to discuss options please email info@tgtf.org.au.
