Twilight market tonight
THE inaugural Fairy Street Twilight Market is on tonight (Friday).
A new initiative by the Warrnambool City Council, the market will be held at the former Callaghans site on Fairy Street, with many Fairy Street businesses on this block to have extended trading hours for the night.
The event will feature market stalls curated by the team who host the Civic Green Christmas Market and the Lake Pertobe Summer Night Market.
There will also be food vans, live music, free face painting and special appearances by Santa and his Elf, as well as street performer The Christmas Angel.
“This is a really exciting event for Fairy Street and for the wider community,” Warrnambool mayor Cr Ben Blain said.
“We’re happy to work with the markets as well as the Fairy Street businesses to put it together.
“With the former Callaghans site, we have a great opportunity to make use of a large space to host some of our local makers and creators, as well as bringing more foot-traffic to Fairy Street’s established businesses.
“It’s all happening in the lead up to Christmas. In addition to the market, we have Christmas projections on CBD buildings, there’s some really fun interactive Christmas murals you can take your photo with and lots of other things to give the city centre a distinct Christmas vibe.”
For up-to-date market announcements or any change to the scheduled events members of the public are encouraged to stay up to date via the Warrnambool City Council Facebook page.
Tonight’s market will run from 4pm-7.30pm.
