If you are looking for great things to see and do over the next few weekends look no further than the Hawkesbury region.

There is so much on at the moment that you will be spoiled for choice. We have all our regular fantastic events such as the Hawkesbury Harvest Farmers Markets, fresh produce stalls and cafes along the Bells Line of Rd, fine dining at historic Lochiel Cafe, the village atmosphere of Kurrajong and much more.

As an added bonus there are a number of current and upcoming events worth marking on your calendar -

* The Mount Tomah Botanic Gardens are hosting their Waratah Festival from 22 Sep - 7 Oct. There are flower displays, guided tours of the gardens, plant sales, growing advice and art displays. All of this comes with free entry and makes for a great day out.

* There are plenty of galleries open with new exhibitions available. The Hawkesbury Regional Gallery, located in Windsor, is currently showing contemporary printmaking till 14 October. The Purple Moon Gallery at Freemans Reach has works by indigenous artists and Sassafras Creek in Kurrajong has two new exhibitions scheduled for the next couple of months which are definitely worth a look.

* If music is more your thing then check out the Sydney Blues and Roots Festival being held in the Hawkesbury from 25 - 28 Oct featuring great artists such as Lanie Lane, Mia Dyson and Chase the sun.

* For sports lovers why not come along to one of the race days at the Hawkesbury Race Club or have a look at the Windsor Spring Carnival of the Windsor Polo Club being held on 23 Sep.

There is so much to do and so much to enjoy. Now you can see why we love it here.
