From this Sunday 26 November 2023 until 28 January 2024 the Mount Gambier CBD - Watson Terrace will be activated on most weekends as a trial.
'Summer on Watson' is a program of events developed in consultation with Council, local businesses and community interest groups to activate the CBD.
"We want to encourage collaboration and partnerships and the CBD activation will bring together existing and supported events and activities over a 10-week period, including markets, after work drinks, live music, food and wine and yoga in the park," City of Mount Gambier Mayor Lynette Martin said.
Council hopes to generate energy and vibrancy within the CBD as a place for people to gather.
"We want people to move around and encourage street life including indoor/outdoor dining and lively civic spaces. Fairy lights will be hung in the Cave Garden/Thugi to create atmosphere with Council providing a stage and power to host entertainment."
