Green Skills Albany is proud to be working in partnership with the businesses on Proudlove Parade, the Albany Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the City of Albany on a new activation project for the precinct. As part of the Proudlove Parade Town Team, together with Yak On York, La Botanic, IGA York St and Barletta’s, this Thursday night market is an opportunity for regional, local, small, micro and home-based businesses to trade during the summer holiday period, initially. The markets aim to provide opportunity for a huge range of diverse stalls including arts and crafts, up-cyclers, on-sellers, food producers, cooks and preservers, clothing, hand made items, great food, music and so much more.
Thursday night shopping was very popular when it started in the 1980’s. This project aims to inject some of that popularity back into Proudlove Parade while providing holiday makers with another interesting night activity during their stay in Albany
If you would love to be a part of the markets please contact Anne Sparrow on [email protected] or 0498 194 222.

40 stall holders at the Twilight Markets
Encouraging “shop local this Christmas” is the theme behind the inaugural Green Skills Twilight Markets. After extensive tours of UK Christmas twilight markets in 2018, and knowing how creative the great southern community is, Green Skills Albany Manager, Anne Sparrow, came back to Albany inspired to provide opportunity for local and regional, small, home-based and micro-businesses to increase trade in the lead up to Christmas gift giving and keeping funds circulating in our economy. Sustainable communities need sustainable economies and these small and micro-business keep money in our community.
The Twilight Markets provides a wider range of options for Christmas shoppers to support local businesses for their gifts. With over 40 stalls available across both nights, there is something for everyone. This includes a huge range of hand-crafted decorations and gifts for all ages including clothing, art, food, woodwork, mirror art, plants, decorative pieces, baskets, toys, jewellery, chocolates, functional items for house and home, beauty products, face painting, experience vouchers for wacky golf and more.
There will also be an outdoor street food alfresco area set up in the car-park providing afternoon tea, snacks, dinner and live music all night.
With two nights available shoppers have an option to leave the loved ones at home for one of the nights and shop in peace.
