This new family-friendly event will take place on Saturday 29 July, celebrating everything that makes Raymond Terrace great!
Mayor Ryan Palmer said the Raymond Terrace Festival has lots on offer, with a key focus on the rich heritage and sense of community the Terrace is known for.
“We’re excited to bring this community event to Raymond Terrace, where locals, families and businesses can come together with a celebration of food, live music and performances, including a car and boat ‘show n shine’,” Mayor Palmer said.
“We’ll be closing William Street to traffic, giving the community the opportunity to take over and explore the activities, and wander down King Street to experience a bit of country and heritage, with demonstrations and activities for everyone to enjoy.
“The Library is also getting in on the action, with free face painting and balloon twisting for the kids, on the Library lawn,” he added.
Many local businesses are getting involved in the festival, showcasing their products and services.
Centre Manager of Marketplace Raymond Terrace Luke Darcy says local businesses are thrilled that the upcoming Raymond Terrace Festival will be held right on their doorstep.
“It’s great to have local events that drive community connection and economic activity in our area, and we’re proud to be involved,” said Mr Darcy.
“This exciting community event is an amazing opportunity for William Street businesses and our Marketplace retailers to showcase their goods and services, and I can’t wait to see the range of sales and offers that are available for our shoppers,” he added.
Other business representatives, such as Managing Director of Destiny Health, Evan Armstrong said they were excitedly anticipating the community event.
“We’re cheering for this local event! We’ll be at the front of our clinic ready to meet with the community and chat about any health and fitness questions they might have. We look forward to saying hi,” said Mr Armstrong.
The Raymond Terrace Festival is a free community event, taking place from 10am to 2pm on Saturday 29 July.
