Healesville will be buzzing on Thursday 4 December as traders stay open late for the annual Christmas Twilight Shopping Night, a relaxed summer evening of festive shopping, food and entertainment.
Now an annual tradition, the popular community event invites locals and visitors to explore Healesville’s retail and hospitality scene after hours and find unique gifts from independent makers and stores, with special offers, live music and a visit from “the man in red”.
“Healesville has such a strong sense of community, and this event captures that perfectly,” says Nina Sturgess, President of Healesville Traders Inc. and owner of Verso Books.
“It encourages people to shop locally for gifts you won’t find in the big centres, to support small businesses and celebrate the incredible creativity and hospitality that our town offers.”
Visitors from across the Yarra Valley and beyond are encouraged to make an evening of it. Enjoy a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere while browsing gifts, sharing a meal with friends, and supporting the small businesses that make Healesville distinctive, while soaking up the Christmas spirit.
A prize giveaway with donations from local businesses will also run on the night.
