Local businesses are set to turn up the winter warmth with Nocturne: Healesville After Dark, a twilight trading event on Friday 25 July.
Organised by Healesville Traders Inc., the evening will see shops and venues extend their hours with in-store activations and offers, from mulled wine and seasonal specials to live music and free tastings.
Themed around firelight, flavour and winter ritual, Nocturne invites locals and visitors to linger longer in town and experience Healesville in a different light.
Traders along Healesville’s main street will offer special deals, warming treats and creative window displays.
A community raffle with prizes donated by local traders will also be held on the night.
