Griffith Twilight Market set to join Festival of Place

The Griffith Tourism Team are hosting the Griffith Twilight Market on Friday 18 March 2022 in Memorial Park, as part of the NSW Government’s The Festival of Place, Summer Night Fund.

From 4pm to 8pm you will find makers, growers and producers from our region showcasing their products for residents and visitors. This is an opportunity to get out and enjoy the warmer nights, while supporting local operators.

“We will have a wide range of stalls on show at this market, from jewellery and handmade items, locally grown flowers and produce, to drinks, oils and condiments. We will have something for everyone,” said Tourism Manager, Mirella Guidolin.

“Some local favourites will be on show including Mirool Cottage with her home-made crackers, TLC Bath Products with soaps and bath products, local honey products from Pullens Honey, Cocoparra Downs showcasing their home grown flower arrangements and so much more.”

Griffith Mayor, Councillor Doug Curran said this is a great opportunity for locals and visitors to come out and support our local economy.

“COVID has hit regions hard, and events such as the Griffith Twilight Market is a fantastic way to show support to our local small business operators,” said Councillor Curran.

“Council is excited to see so many stalls registered and I encourage you to bring the whole family out to Memorial Park and enjoy a relaxed evening while supporting local operators.”

Ms Guidolin added “We have used this as an opportunity to work towards a key action from our Griffith Destination Tourism Plan 2021-24, to encourage the formation of CBD seasonal markets, so we are very excited and trust they will be well supported.”

“The market will be a great night out for families and groups of all ages and is just one of the many events already scheduled this Autumn,” she said.

The Festival of Place is a state-wide initiative where the activities are free, open and accessible to all and are about activating open spaces in our city centres.
