“Check out some eco-friendly and handmade wares in the marketplace, enjoy a delicious street food picnic and attend a talk or workshop on sustainable living delivered by industry experts.

“There’s something for everyone – plenty of activities for little and big kids alike, live entertainment, delectable food and prizes to be won.”

Attendees can also witness how local schools have transformed waste into artistic creations in the Waste-To-Art competition.

Prizes on offer at the festival include a family koala encounter and a conservation encounter at Oakvale Wildlife Park, a dolphin discovery cruise from Moonshadow TQC Cruises, and a marine discovery cruise from Imagine Cruises Port Stephens.

Schools can also win art supplies and bags from Boomerang Bags Raymond Terrace and book vouchers from Readers Retreat bookshop.

The Sustainable Living Festival is sponsored by Port Stephens Council supported by Hunter Water.
