So if you're interested in volunteering and giving us a hand on this day- even if it's only for a couple of hours, please feel free to send us a message. We'd love to hear from you!

15.01.2022 7 November 2019 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE GENERAL UPDATE - Hastings Foreshore Festival Inc.... Dear Hastings Community, As many of you may already know, our team of volunteers has been working tirelessly over the last couple of months to introduce a new multicultural community event to Hastings called the Hastings Foreshore Festival. Our volunteers are local residents of varying backgrounds, skillsets, age, wisdom and were brought together after the demise of our much-cherished local community event, the Western Port Festival. Upon learning of the entire Western Port Festival situation in the local newspaper, we banded together to formally incorporate Hastings Foreshore Festival Inc as it was our common desire to ensure our region, businesses, community groups, residents and children would still have a free community event to participate in and enjoy, each and every February. We understood there would be significant challenges, as we were starting with absolutely nothing - so it was going to take a lot of hard work and determination, plus a heap of fundraising to make this work. This effort was compounded by the fact a lot of goodwill had evaporated, trust had been broken and a lot of good people who gave so much over the years had been hurt, in some instances irreparably. Given these circumstances, we understood the importance of doing things properly. Our goal is to run a successful event for our community and our team of volunteers understand the need for due process, tight financial control and strict governance. We also pride ourselves on transparency with our members, sponsors, local government and community group partners. Whilst we had been making significant headway in planning for our inaugural event, tough market conditions and significant operational challenges combined with the aforementioned evaporation of goodwill and trust with suppliers and sponsors made it increasingly unlikely we were going to be in a position to proceed with an event in 2020. Our committee of management ultimately determined last week that the risk had reached an unacceptable level and decided to refocus our efforts toward hosting our inaugural event in February 2021. We understand our community needs more time to heal, more time for everyone to come together again and we are determined to help make that happen. We will be here to bring the Hastings Foreshore Festival to fruition and we look forward to working with the community over the coming months to create a community event that can be enjoyed by everyone, once again. Sincerely, The Committee of Management Hastings Foreshore Festival Inc.
