All invited to ‘light up park’
LIGHT Up The Park, held in Mossman, has become a regular event on the Douglas Shire calender this year and has proven to be a great community morale booster during some tough times.
Run by the Mossman Support Services Youth Centre, it is aimed to connect locals with organisations that can assist them through a range of engaging and fun activities.
Youth development coordinator and event organiser Brody Andrews said the youth centre was now excited to invite people to another Light Up The Park event at the end of the month, with this particular one showcasing local arts and culture.
“Additionally, this event is being held in conjunction with the Indigenous Business Month 10-year celebrations. Their theme ‘Making Our Mark’ will be showcasing and celebrating First Nations businesses.
“Highlights for the day will include First Nations stalls and merchandise, all supplied by local First Nation’s businesses.
“The community mural project will also be addressed helping to create stage 1 of this new program.
“As per the previous events, the afternoon will also include family-friendly fun activities for all ages and a free community barbecue.
“If you are not part of the arts and culture space, your service, organisation, or business is still more than welcome to join the day by hosting a stall, or running an activity.
For anyone interested in hosting a workshop or setting up a stall, this is a great opportunity to share your talents and connect with the community.
“Together, we can also celebrate local culture, support community recovery and showcase First Nations business.”
This next Light Up The Park will be on November 28, from 3 to 6pm, once again at George Davis Park, Mossman.
To register a stall or activity contact Mr Andrews by November 15 on 0412 735 585
