The Festival brings together an eclectic program of film, food events, markets, music, workshops, demonstrations and arts programs in an action-packed weekend.

The Dungog Festival and special events such as these continue to play an important role in the Shire’s development as a destination and offers great opportunities and exposure for businesses.

If you would like the opportunity to showcase YOUR business, sponsorship packages have now been released with special rates for those within the Shire.

There are four local sponsorship packages on offer which you can choose from together with more mainstream sponsorship opportunities available.

Please talk to Tracy or Wendy at the Festival Lounge if you would like to discuss other ways you can become involved with The Dungog Festival. Phone 4992 1862 or email info@dungogfestival.com.au

Many thanks to Shaw’s Bakery from Clarence Town, Clarence Town School of Arts and everyone else involved  in bringing together the fabulous “Pies in July” dinner network meeting at the Clarence Town School of Arts Hall recently.

More than 40 members and friends enjoyed a wonderful selection of the not so humble pie and a variety of delicious desserts all made by Shaw’s Bakery. Our monthly networking evenings and social events offer an ideal platform for meeting, discussing and promoting business services and products.

Our next meeting will be a combined 2016 Annual General Meeting and dinner meeting to be held at Settlers Arms Hotel on Thursday 18th August at 6.30pm.

In accordance with the Constitution of the Dungog District Chamber of Commerce, to be eligible for nomination to office or to vote in the election process, you must be a current member of the Dungog District Chamber of Commerce.
