Former premiership duo Andrew Mackie and Mathew Stokes recently visited three restaurants in support of the Tastes of Central Geelong Festival which is running from 1 to 31 July.
Tastes of Central Geelong is a month-long festival of food, flavours and fun.
You can enjoy Tastes from the comfort of your own home and learn tricks of the trade from local chefs, try exclusive recipes, dine at home and build your own menu items. Or make your way into Central Geelong to sample gourmet food and drink, participate in food themed activities and offers from restaurants and cafes who need your support.
“Central Geelong Marketing has created a flexible digital program which can continue to evolve as restrictions ease,” Central Geelong Marketing Committee Chair, Cr Peter Murrihy said.
“The program features virtual events, activities and offers that the community can enjoy from the comfort of their own homes while also providing activities hosted in a number of Central Geelong venues with limited capacity.”
Although this year’s program is a ‘lite’ version of Tastes, Murrihy expects to see great numbers of participation from businesses and the community.
“Each year has seen the event grow with more and more businesses coming on board to offer a food event or special offer into the festival program.”
“We have also built on the offering of the events delivered by Central Geelong Marketing including on street activities and guided tours. The number of participants has continued to grow as the program keeps evolving with current food trends and new unique events.
“It’s fantastic to see many Central Geelong businesses jumping onboard the Tastes program and the community response has been great so far with many excited to see a full month of activity on offer in Central Geelong to support local restaurants and cafes.”
It’s more important than ever in today’s climate to rally behind and support local restaurants and cafes in Central Geelong.
