The Nundle Go for Gold Festival and Taste Tamworth we canned on Monday as federal government event restrictions tighten.
We do however look forward to a bigger and better festival next year.
- Megan Carberry
Go for Gold festival committee member Megan Carberry said the safety of the community needed to come first.
"We do however look forward to a bigger and better festival next year, and also encourage small groups and people looking for a day trip to still come visit Nundle and enjoy what our great town has to offer," she said.
" ... So come and enjoy the hospitality that Nundle is famous for."
While Taste Tamworth's signature events have been cancelled, including the Laneway Pop-Up Bar, Taste in the Park, the Long Lunch and both High Tea in the Garden events.
Refunds will be available and the inaugural Taste Month campaign will still go ahead.
