Hawkesbury is a great place to hold events, located on the edge of Sydney – it is ‘a vibrant city with a rural feel’. The Hawkesbury is a unique location with much to offer. The iconic Hawkesbury River and its tributaries flow through the region, where the agricultural origins of Australia’s third oldest settlement and its heritage towns blend to create a deep sense of history and place.

The landscape is dominated by a mix of urban and rural areas, 64 towns and villages with their own identities, connected and committed communities who are passionate about their Hawkesbury. There is a challenge to activate these great places to create vibrant town centres which are uniquely Hawkesbury. Hosting community events, both along the River and in the townships, is a great way to promote the Hawkesbury.
