Council is calling out for exhibitors and market stall holders to apply to be part of the 2023 Our Townsville event at Andersen Gardens on Sunday, 11 June.
Our Townsville brings together all facets of life in North Queensland, including elements of previous stand-alone events such as Eco Fiesta, Heritage Day, Pet Expo, Mentally Healthy Expo and Get Ready Day, highlighting the unique opportunities life in North Queensland offers.
This event was a huge success at its inaugural event in 2021, where 15,000 people attended.
Any type of business can register to participate, from not-for-profit, commercial, small businesses, and market-style.
As one of Townsville’s largest exhibitions, Mayor Jenny Hill said the goal is to create a positive and enjoyable day for the community where they can have fun, learn, connect with others and potentially take home useful resources.
“This event includes information stalls, workshops, interactive spaces, outdoor activities, live entertainment, kids’ amusements, storytelling, and more,” Cr Hill said.
“Our Townsville is a one-stop shop where you can experience all the best local expos in one place and provides yet another fabulous, inclusive events for our community.
“With a city of over one hundred and ninety-five thousand people and climbing, Council is committed to growing a liveable city that connects people to what they need, that is why we invest in over 60 inclusive and diverse events for our community every year.
“There is something for everyone at ‘Our Townsville’, with live entertainment, an Education Hub, food trucks, markets and stalls, and much more.
“Applications close at 11:59 pm on Sunday, 23 April so anyone who is interested in being part of this great event as a stall holder should head to Council’s website for more details.”
