Crookwell is set to light up and bedazzle with the inaugural Crookwell Twilight Christmas Fair taking place on Saturday 3rd December, showcasing the creators, makers, growers, bakers and retail movers and shakers from the Upper Lachlan and Southern Tablelands regions.
This exciting event kicks off at 4pm and will see Crookwell transform into an enchanting one-stop shop for Christmas shopping, dining and entertainment all the way through til 9pm.
With market stalls, late-night shopping, roving carollers, live music and activities for the whole family, the atmosphere will be perfect for families and friends to meet up and kick off the festive season together on what promises to be a very special Saturday evening.
Stall holders will be offering unique gift ideas for everyone, from grandparents to children, from pets to parents, from work colleagues to that special someone. There will be plants and gardening stalls including garden art, boutique pet accessories, locally made jewellery and fashion, tastings from local wineries and our own local meadery, artisan producers, unique homewares, arts, crafts, games and toys.
One very special stall will be dedicated to selling the much-anticipated Crookwell Bares All Calendar – a beautifully printed wall calendar featuring our homegrown Crookwell community superstars in their bare finest, an initiative to raise funds to assist with the medical expenses of beloved resident Ally Jaffrey, who was recently diagnosed with a terminal illness. The calendar is designed to put a smile on anyone’s face, and proceeds will go to a worthy local cause.
Shoppers looking to unleash their inner creative and help save the planet should make a b-line for the Southern Tablelands Arts stall, where they will be shown clever ways to create their own Christmas decorations out of recycled materials.
Crookwell’s main street is famous for its boutique shopping and will be open until 7pm, with stunning Christmas window displays.
Kids should look for the face-painting, roving stilt walkers, Santa with his elves and Hephner the Alpaca, who will be ready for photo ops in his Santa costume,
It will be a night to remember for every child, with a spectacular Christmas Wonderland featuring a winter zone with Frosty the Snowman and Surfing Santa’s Beach zone and much, much more.
Your kids will have sensory overload when they reach the inflatable zone, which includes an 11-metre high double giant slide, a 15-metre obstacle course and a pirate ship bouncing castle.
Children can also visit Santa’s Workshop where they can paint Christmas ornaments created by Crookwell’s Men’s Shed.
As the sun sets, Goulburn Street and Spring Street will come alive in a spectacular light show, illuminating the town’s buildings with moving images depicting Christmas – a must-visit for those keen on stunning festive season social media pics. This state-of-the-art light show will light up Crookwell’s main street every night leading up to Christmas.
At 8pm in Memorial Park, there’ll be the official lighting of the town’s massive Christmas tree by Mayor Pam Kensit with the Minister for Local Government, Member for Goulburn the Hon. Wendy Tuckerman, MP.
