With more than 2 million small businesses in Australia, and many of these on our main streets, they do an enormous amount for the community. We need to support them, to ensure their survival, so they can continue to:
- provide a huge number of jobs to those that rely on local or flexible work,
- create local spending,
- provide local job opportunities and a training ground for our younger generation,
- support local causes and charities, as well as sporting groups and schools,
provide a place for the elderly or vulnerable to find their fit in the community, - build connection and provide safe spaces, and
- allow a huge number of families to stay financially afloat.
It’s for this reason we are joining in with a new national celebration, Main Streets of Australia Week, and celebrating with a Main Street Market & Festa!
Held on Sat, May 20 and running between 11am – 2pm, join us on Mordy Main Street for:
- FREE craft stations
- FREE face painting
- FREE balloon twisting
- FUN on-street entertainers including a real-life mermaid, a magical magician, a bubble blowing sea nymph and a twirling pirate
- PLUS, a ‘cash machine’ you can step into and win gift cards and great prizes from our local businesses (see prizes listed below)
Also, on the day, we have over 50 market stalls lining the street selling wonderful products and services.
NOTE: All market stalls and entertainment is held under business awnings under the street so, if it is raining, you will be protected. Just rug up and bring a brolly for when crossing roads and you’ll be fine!
