The relaunch of the Woy Woy Waterfront Markets on April 11 was a winning but windy affair after breezy conditions hit the foreshore on Brick Wharf Rd.
The monthly event used to be named Handmade on the Coast, but was rebranded due to the upgrades to the Woy Woy wharf.
Organiser Ricky Simoes said the team was happy with the turnout and ‘very pleased’ with the support from the community.
“The day started off great and the new layout of the market felt good, leaving the space under the large fig tree for the drum circle (which) created a nice atmosphere,” Simoes said.
“The drums were a hit, and everyone enjoyed it.
Unfortunately, the day did not go completely to plan with the food stall cancelling last minute followed by a hectic wind that started around 9am.”
Many of the stall holders were forced to pack up early due to the windy conditions, after products began to fly away and gazebos became unsafe.
Notwithstanding its shaky re-start, organisers are confident the market will grow and include more creative talent and food stalls.
The next market will be a Mother’s Day special held on May 9.
