The Town of Port Hedland and BHP Present the Sunset Food Markets
The markets are held at West End's Marapikurrinya Park and feature food vendors, family friendly activities, live music by local acoustic musicians and a market bar.
The event series is presented by the Town of Port Hedland and BHP and the event is managed by PPP Events.
The markets are held under ambient festoon lighting in the park, providing visitors with the opportunity to enjoy a selection of delicious food options as the ships go by in the port.
Whether its environmental causes, community outreach, sports and recreation, emergency services, or beyond, we recognises the invaluable contribution that volunteers make in remote community such as Hedland.
National Volunteer Week is Australia's largest annual celebration of volunteering which is celebrated between 20-26 May 2024.
This special event provides us with an opportunity to highlight the important role of volunteers in our community.
