A dedicated group of volunteers, who are members of the chamber, organise the festival - they're the ones in the purple shirts. Each year the chamber contributes sponsorship and help at the event. They and other volunteers wear green shirts.
Volunteers from local organisations and sports groups help with set up, pack up and collecting entry donations which are distributed back into these groups.
Also supporting the event is the Holiday Coast Credit Union who has sponsored Slice of Haven every year, this is the festival's 12th year.
Port Macquarie-Hastings Council also contributes with a grant and sharing news via their networks.
Joining the sponsors this year is Laurieton Residential Resort, who will be running the mini golf activity - Bob Hope was a keen golfer.
Media partners are the Camden Haven Courier, Focus Magazine, HitFM and Triple M radio, and WinTV.
The Hastings Co-op, always a champion of local events, sponsors the best-dressed stall prize.
Mayo Health eCare provides funding to Slice of Haven to ensure paramedics from Charles Sturt University are on hand, just in case.
The festival would not have its signature atmosphere without a great location, and the Laurieton United Services Club provides all the logistical support to the event.
