The 2011 nib Hunter Festival of Sport which was conducted in the July school holidays was a great success with over 40 sports involved and approximately 20,000 participants. The Festival catered for all ages from 2 years to 80 years. Some of the many sports on offer included AFL, Zumba, Rugby League, Rowing, Dragon Boating, Oz Tag, Netball, Karate, Tai Chi, Tae Kwon Do, Baseball, Softball, Rugby Union, Basketball, Indoor Climbing and many more.

Competitions conducted during the Festival were a great success with the nib Netball, Softball and Rugby League Tournaments attracting many teams from all over NSW.

Plans are now underway for the organisation of the 2012 nib Hunter Festival of Sport. Organisers of this fantastic event are confident that the event will continue to grow and attract more sporting groups to host activities from all over the Hunter Region.

The 2012 Festival will take place from Saturday 30th June to Sunday 15th July.
