MEDIAVERKLARING: OPELUGMARKTE STEEDS TREKPLEISTERS
Vrystelling: Onmiddellik
Verskeie opelugmarkte word vir die feesseisoen beplan en binne die raamwerk van die heersende inperkingsriglyne aangebied.
• Die immergewilde aandmarkte kry vanjaar 'n nuwe kleurtjie wanneer die Mosselbaai-aandmark na Blandstraat verskuif tot rondom die Goods Shed. Nie net sal winskopiejagters by die gewilde buitelugstalletjies kan kies en keur nie, maar al die keurige aanbiedings van die Goods Shed sal ook beskikbaar wees.
Hierdie mark vind op 18 Desember plaas.
• Hartenbos se Aandmarkte vind onderskeidelik op 19 Desember, en weer op 23 Desember, net betyds vir die laaste-oomblik-kerskouskopies.
• 'n Nuwelingmark is die Feel Alive Festival wat daagliks vanaf 17 Desember tot en met 17 Januarie inwoners en vakansiegangers met onder meer uithalergeregte na die Harry Giddeypark gaan lok. Boonop word elke aand 'n restaurantstyl-ete in die besondere atmosfeer van die park met sy pragtige bome, klippaadjies en ruim grasperke aangebied.
Stalletjiehouers wat belangstel om hier betrokke te raak, kan nog Gwynne Harding, die Munisipaliteit se bestuurder, plaaslike ekonomiese ontwikkeling, by 044 606 5000, of [email protected] kontak.
• Die Mark in die Park wat vroeër in November weens gure weer nie in die Harry Giddeypark aangebied kon word nie, sal besoekers op 19 Desember en op 20 Desember alles en nog wat te kies en te keur bied. Die eerste markdag in hierdie pragtige ligging was 'n groot sukses, moenie dié geleentheid misloop nie. Die mark is terug op openbare aandrang.
• Op 19 Desember kan veral Groot-Brakrivier se mense en besoekers gerus die mark op Wolwedans ondersteun. Besoekers kan gerus ook inloer want velerlei word aangebied. Hierdie mark duur vanaf 09:00 tot 14:00.
