Truffle lovers will have to wait another year to enjoy the usually annual festival Truffle Kerfuffle.
The festival's volunteer board had to make the difficult decision to cancel the 11th edition of the event which was scheduled for June 2022.
The boutique nature of the event and its suppliers has however meant that it is uniquely exposed to the ongoing challenges of Covid-19 that continue to face the events industry.
Lasting impacts of the pandemic have undermined the 2022 festival's ticket sales and the availability of a skilled regional workforce that is necessary to put on the event.
To maintain the high standard Truffle Kerfuffle is known for, the board has decided to cancel the 2022 event and to focus efforts on delivering the festival in 2023 and 2024.

The board appreciate that the 2022 cancellation will have implications for local businesses and the community.
Truffle lovers can still get their delectable fix of alluring truffles during the season (from May to August) by ordering direct from truffle farmers, as well as stunning Southern Forests produce and wine direct from wineries.
