CURRYFEST 2025, boosted by fabulous weather, saw thousands descend on Woolgoolga between 26 and 28 September.
Visitors discovered and sampled an array of multicultural cuisines, and enjoyed the family entertainment and other cultural delights.
“Turbans were tied, dance moves perfected, taste buds tantalised, curry cooking tips picked up and spice cupboards replenished,” Curryfest Committee Chair Pam Fayle said.
The colours and crowds “were a sight for sore eyes after last year’s bad weather cancellation”.
Friday night saw hundreds gathered at the reserve to enjoy the movie on the beach, while the early start on Sunday did not stop yoga and meditation enthusiasts from enjoying the Wellness by the Waves event.
Many local cafes joined in with a range of curries on offer over the weekend.
Curryfest organisers say planning is already underway for the big 20th birthday of Curryfest next year.
“We’ll be responding to suggestions for improvements, getting as many more curries as we can and offering a huge entertainment program as well as aiming for additional add on events to extend the festival,” said Chamber of Commerce and Another Tasty Event representatives.
“We are planning on some exciting improvements.”
To help with planning, organisers would like anyone who attended this year’s Curryfest to complete the survey on the event’s website – curryfest.com.au.
