The Coffs Coast has great festivals and events throughout the year

Of all the festivals and events listed above, the weeklong International Buskers & Comedy Festival in Coffs Harbour in September/October is definitely the biggest and possibly the best. The Bellingen Jazz & Blues Festival and Global Festival are also major and extremely popular events on the Coffs Coast. These three events are most definitely worth a trip to Coffs Harbour from anywhere in Australia.
