Don’t miss the Avoca Christmas twilight market from 4-9pm on Saturday, December 9, at Heazlett Park.
Fixx Events will present the free market under the stars overlooking Avoca Lagoon, with 90-plus bespoke stalls, seasonal gifts, yummy foods, desserts, live music and Six String Brewery Bars.
“This event is now in its seventh year and continues to be the favourite place for your outdoor Christmas Party with the family and friends and all in a fun, inclusive, accessible, safe and family-friendly environment,” organiser Brad Cardis said.
Entertainment will include Neav, Dingo, Ruby Archer and her Groovy Doobies as well as Uncle Jed, an Australian funk, reggae and jazz band.
Formed in 2005 among family members, the line-up was Danny Stitt on bass and lead guitars, his brother Shannon Stitt on keyboards and their cousin Laura Stitt on lead vocals.
In November 2013 the trio won the seventh season of the TV reality show, Australia’s Got Talent.
A self-titled album was issued in May 2010 and three of Uncle Jed’s singles covers peaked in the ARIA Singles Chart top 50.
The group briefly changed the band name to Luna Grand in May 2015 and released an extended play, Patience Love, in June.
Ruby Archer is a local 18-year-old singer-songwriter who creates angry, jazzy rock with feminist undertones and husky vocals with her band the Groovy Doobies.
“I reckon the power of music is one of the few magics in this world, and the way it connects people is something sacred,” she said.
“I like to use this gift of the groove to convey my subconscious to anyone who cares, or anyone who doesn’t and just likes the sound of my music.”
Licensed bar areas at the event are 18-plus only and all event information is available on the Fixx Events Website and the Avoca Markets Instagram and Facebook pages.
