When plans change, the community shows up!
Byron Markets organisers say, ‘With hundreds of visitors already in town for what would have been Bluesfest weekend, Byron Markets is calling on locals and visitors alike to come out and support the region’s small businesses across a special Easter long weekend line-up of markets’.
‘While the festival may not be going ahead, many of the much-loved stallholders who would usually trade at Bluesfest will still be bringing their offerings to Byron Markets, alongside the region’s favourite local artisans, makers and food vendors.
‘Visitors can expect a vibrant mix of local creativity and familiar festival favourites, including handcrafted pieces, fashion, street food and unique finds for this iconic weekend across three markets: Beachside, Twilight and Community.
‘Market goers can discover standout stalls who were going to trade at Bluesfest such as homemade fashion stall Fairtale, alongside beloved local favourites including The Knicker Parlour and The Feather Lady. They will be joined by visiting traders who are regulars of the Bluesfest weekend circuit, including Sita’s Fusion Flavours, Blu Cosmos and Butterfly 68.
‘Kicking things off on Easter Friday, the artisan only Byron Beachside Market sets the tone for the weekend, with waves rolling in as you browse handmade ‘make it, bake it, sew it, grow it’ stalls, enjoy delicious food and take in live tunes from Hayley Grace, Guy Kachel and Mark Easton. As Easter Saturday night rolls in, the Byron Twilight Market transforms Railway Park from 4pm to 9pm, with live music to get your feet tapping and your head moving. Hayley Grace will keep you entertained throughout the evening’.
