FLAVOURS of Loddon will bring award-winning local produce to Bridgewater for the first time on the March long weekend.
Fresh from success in Boort last month, the ingredients of artisan food and beverage makers will be showcased on the banks of the Loddon River for a holiday weekend treat.
Event organiser Ann-Maree Davis said the Flavours of Loddon team was looking forward to bringing the event to Bridgewater for the first time. “The event was a wonderful success in Boort this year, and we received fantastic feedback from locals and visitors,” she said.
“Many of our vendors live in and around the Bridgewater area so they are looking forward to showcasing our region in their hometown.
“The Loddon River Foreshore reserve is the a beautiful location, and the perfect setting to enjoy some local food and wine while listening to live music. 
The long weekend is such a busy time in central Victoria and some of our regular vendors are attending other events but we have had some new local Loddon businesses joining us, so even if you have been to a Flavours of Loddon event before there will be something new for you to try!”
Making their Flavours debut are Asian Desserts (Eddington), Crazy Floss (Murphy’s Creek), Margot’s Catering/Spuds on the Run (Moliagul) and Bella and Co Coffee Van (Salisbury West).
The free twilight community event on Saturday, March 9, is supported by Loddon Shire and will be held on the Loddon River Foreshore Reserve along the Bridgewater Walking Track next to the Caravan Park.
