In a new initiative combining food and community, the Town of Port Hedland will run Sunset Food Markets at Marapikurrinya Park, launching Friday 13 September.
Kicking off at 5pm, the recurring family-friendly event will host a range of local food vendors, in addition to kids’ activities and live music.
Set under ambient festoon lighting, the Markets will highlight the improved accessibility and usability of Marapikurrinya Park following its recent refurbishment.
Hon. Commissioner Fred Riebeling said the event was being held in response to community requests and he expected the Markets to well attended.
“With a unique port backdrop and bespoke food vendors, the Sunset Food Markets will be an event to suit even the most discerning of tastes.
“We have endeavoured to source food vendors whose diversity and talent showcase the best of our local food culture, providing a new trading place for small businesses.
“Complementing the food will be local live musicians, demonstrating the Town’s commitment to supporting and showcasing Hedland’s local music scene.
“Highlights of the refurbished park include improved accessibility, refined landscaping, better seating and more open space for people.
This is an accessible, family-friendly, drug and alcohol free event.
