Draft:Havelock Mussel And Seafood Festival
Comment: Unfortunately WP:NEVENT suggests that events like these really need sourcing that suggests their significance beyond a local area: see WP:GEOSCOPE. The article's sourcing suggests this is a lovely but local event with coverage largely confined to domestic news that the event is happening. As a result, the event doesn't really seem notable against WP:GNG. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 06:48, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
