Australia Day will return the Freds Pass market shed for 2024.
The Rotary Club of Litchfield & Palmerston will be back cooking up a storm with our *FREE* BBQ Breakfast from the shed and there will barista made coffee for sale to kick start your day for the fun run, with registrations from 7:00 am and a proposed start time of 7:30 am so limber up Litchfield!
The shed will also house a jumping castle, NTFRS Fire truck and a petting zoo to keep the young ones busy whilst the adults indulge in some retail therapy with local market stalls lining the perimeter of the event. Expect art stalls, botanical plants sales, fashion offerings, Indigenous arts and crafts, local handmade objects and naturally made dog treats to name a few.
Entertainment will be provided throughout the day and Litchfield's newest citizens will pledge their commitment to their new home (Australia, not the market shed) on the main stage.
To confirm your attendance or set a reminder for the big day you can mark your attendance on the Litchfield Australia Day Facebook event here.
The 2024 Australia Day event is assisted by the Australian Government through the National Australia Day Council and the Australia Day Council NT.
