Harvest festival provides $200,000 boost

Close to $200,000 is thought to have been generated for Clyde's local economy by the annual wine and food harvest festival held on Sunday.

Promote Dunstan organises the Easter festival, which features Alexandra, Earnscleugh, and Clyde wine, as well as locally grown and made food.

Promote Dunstan member and Vincent Community Board chairwoman Clair Higginson said it was estimated 5500 to 6000 people attended the event.

"Last year we were quite amazed at the amounts of money being spent, and from all accounts we think there was more this year," she said.

Accommodation, food, and essential service businesses all benefitted.
