Businesses pledge support for Noosa food and wine festival

THE loss of the Noosa International Food and Wine Festival would send the local economy reeling, and local businesses have vowed not to let the festival die. Noosa Boathouse managing director Phil Bradford told the Daily Noosa businesses would rally behind the festival vision after its parent company, Noosa Food and Wine Events, went into administration on Friday. This year the festival was lauded as a huge success, attracting 30,000 visitors to the region.
