Stroll & Swing – Saturday 26th July 2025

This year, Stroll & Swing will be located within Leslie Park (with a new site plan for defined FREE & ticketed zones) and will again feature Celebration of Local Flavours – “Market Day” – an opportunity for the Southern Downs and neighbouring regions’ primary producers and boutique/cottage industry vendors to showcase their direct-market goods. You are invited to prepare and sell your produce to enable visitors to enjoy a first hand experience of your local flavour. All with a backdrop of top quality live jazz performances on the stages.

This year’s event will include the ticketed “long table lunch” where visitors are able to enjoy a menu prepared by chefs showcasing the local produce from around the Southern Downs and neighbouring regions. In addition to the ticketed lunch event, there will be a “market place” section dedicated to local producers who wish to showcase and sell their own products to the visitors. 

Please Note: This year, the Marketplace will be situated in the FREE zone (separate to the ticketed arena).With up to 10,000 people walking past your stall on the day, it is a perfect opportunity to meet potential customers and provide them with a taste of what you can offer today and into the future.

We are reviewing the option of having a prize draw for a “local produce basket” – (valued at $400.00) for our visitors to enter. If we go ahead with this, you will be invited to contribute a product to the basket (optional). Your stall will be provided with entry forms. Visitors who enter the competition will then be provided with your contact details, after the event, so they can continue ordering your products directly. We encourage you to have your own marketing material available at your stall as well.
We invite vendors/growers who grow local produce or use local produce in your products to apply to join us to celebrate local flavours. Whether you sweeten our lives with honey, make spreads, condiments or tasty additives for cooking, health care products or wherever your ‘creative’ takes you… we would invite you to apply to join us on the day.

Complete form by Friday 24th of April 2025 to be considered for this opportunity. There will be a limited number of stalls available in 2025.
