Christmas arrives early at Mirambeena Park

Armstrong Creek’s Warralily Twilight Food and Makers Festival is promising to bring early Christmas cheer to the region.

Hosted by Piccadilly Market, the much-loved twilight event will blend delicious food, artisan shopping, live local music and family-friendly entertainment to bring the community together to welcome Christmas at Mirambeena Park.

Piccadilly Market founder Janina Lear said visitors are encouraged to embrace the Christmas theme.

“From Santa hats to sequins, we’re inviting everyone to add a touch of festive sparkle to help light up the park,” she said.

“It’s the ideal chance to ease into the season, pick up some Christmas gifts and enjoy time together.”

Market goers can expect more than 45 stalls featuring handmade gifts, festive decor, local produce, and creative artisan pieces. The park will be filled with the aroma of delicious dishes on offer from a wide array of food trucks and dessert vendors.

Adding to the festive mood is a stellar line-up of live local performers. Gabby Steel will bring her powerhouse vocals and soulful stage presence, offering a mix of 60s favourites through to contemporary hits. She will be followed by Bella Lear known for her heartfelt sound.

The event is at Mirambeena Park, just off Surf Coast Highway, on Saturday 29 November from 4pm to 8.30pm.
