Heritage Bank Festival of Food & Wine Digital Program 2018

THE HERITAGE BANK FESTIVAL OF FOOD & WINE

21–23 SEPT TCOF.COM.AU

WELCOME FROM HERITAGE BANK At Heritage Bank, we absolutely love the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers, and our involvement this year is bigger and better than ever.

I’m thrilled that in our 21st year sponsoring the Carnival, we’ve extended our agreement to now bring you the Heritage Bank Festival of Food and Wine in 2018.

The Heritage Bank Festival of Food and Wine brings together under the one banner the three days of fantastic food, wine and live music that have become a focal part of the Carnival.

It’s a chance to kick back and enjoy mouth-watering local foods and wines, hear from celebrity chefs, and sing along to some of the nation’s finest live musical acts over three days and nights.

What a combination!

The Carnival celebrates this region’s fantastic lifestyle. It’s a chance for all of us to come together and revel in the glorious spring weather that showcases our gardens, our foods, our parks and our performers.

Heritage is delighted to be in its 21st year as a major sponsor of the Carnival. It’s our way of thanking the community for supporting us.

After all, just like the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers, Heritage Bank is also a Toowoomba icon that has been a huge part of this community for many years. Our People first philosophy is all about making a positive contribution to the lives of people in our community.

Welcome to the Heritage Bank Festival of Food and Wine and enjoy the best that this region has to offer.

PETER LOCK

Chief Executive Officer, Heritage Bank
