World-class event returns to the region
We're once again partnering with Paul Bennet Airshows to bring the Barrington Coast Airshow back to the region.
The world-class event will return to the skies above Taree on Saturday 7 November. Following from the success of the 2024 event, the Barrington Coast Airshow is expected to attract more than 6,000 visitors to the region.
MidCoast Council has provided a sponsorship package for the airshow and has worked with organisers closely to deliver an unforgettable experience for aviation enthusiasts and families alike.
With more than 6,000 visitors expected to visit the Barrington Coast for the one-day event, we anticipate it will provide over $2 million in economic impact for our local businesses and be a great way to connect our local communities.
