Bay blues, food n’ wine

The first Nelson Bay ‘Blues, Wine n’ Food Festival’ will take place on March 3 and 4 to coincide with the upcoming 50th anniversary of the NSW Game Fishing Interclub Tournament. The event will take place along the Nelson Bay Foreshore and will feature nine wineries, a range of food stalls and four entertainment stages. According to event coordinator Marian Sampson an event of this kind had ‘‘never been done before’’ in the area, and she said she was expecting around 10,000 to 12,000 visitors to the event, reports the Port Stephens Examiner.
