The word on the street

The word on the street is a new community street festival with a craft market is planned later this year, courtesy of the good folk in the events department at the Town of Vincent. The event formerly known as the Leederville street festival has moved slightly up and to the right, and this year on November 30 will be appearing in hipster North Perth location Angove Street, home of fab cafe Milkd and other funky shops.

The Town of Vincent's community development officer Jill Symonds says "There will be an organic produce market, entertainment, performers, children’s activities and art/craft/jewellery and fashion stalls. We are looking for really interesting and different fashion, art/craft and jewellery designers as stall holders. Your products must be original and of a very high standard."
If you would like to be considered for a stall or need more information then please contact Jill at the Town of Vincent on 9252 1323 jill.symons@vincent.wa.gov.au or Tracee Blythe on 9273 6030 tracee.blythe@vincent.wa.gov.au - you may want to hurry as they are offering FREE stalls to successful applicants!

The other new market of note is the Perth Upmarket, which will be held at the fabulous location of the Perth Town Hall, right in the heart of the city. The market will return the Town Hall's medieval fashioned undercroft to its original use, as it was used as a market waaaaay back yonder in the early days of the Swan River Settlement. Taking advantage of passing crowds from Sunday trading, the Upmarket is planned for Sunday September 14 and December 14 and will run quarterly. The intent of Perth Upmarket is "to connect the makers of beautiful things to people who appreciate the unique, handmade and locally designed". Hear, hear.
