Lismore’s central business district came alive on Saturday with hundreds of people enjoying the smells and taste of exotic foods served up by local restaurants at the inaugural Eat the Street Festival. Magellan Street was blocked off to traffic and became a vibrant, bustling food strip with cooking demos, exhibitions, a beer garden and the sounds of music filling the air.

Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
This was a well organised event. Credit to Lismore Council for the progress they have made for the community.
