Lismore Quad invites you to an afternoon of festivities with the ‘Very Merry Markets’.
Join the Lismore Regional Gallery, Lismore Library, Rekindling the Spirit, Northern Rivers Community Healing Hub, and Lismore Produce Market at the Quad on 21 December 2023 for their second instalment of this festive event celebrating the vibrancy of Lismore’s art and cultural scene.
Based in and around the Quad, the Markets will include food offerings from Lismore Produce Market, activities for everyone to enjoy, and a chance to stock up on all the supplies you need for the festive season. The Quad will be brimming with activities for the whole family, from a local art market, to live music, public art, food, cultural weaving, Collage Club, storytelling and more. This collaborative event is a great way for community to get together before Christmas time!
