There will be art, design, coffee and treats in the Western end of Civic Park- closest to Auckland St- as well as in the Darby St end of the park. Join us for a day full of creative, good food, live music and fun! We look forward to seeing you on Saturday!
Every month we strive to bring you the very best locally created work, which has been ethically produced by our talented collective of over 130 contemporary artists, designers, and street food purveyors, alongside live music and free activities. Providing a platform to support Newcastle's creative community, and the wider Australian handmade community, over the last decade has been the huge driving force, and ethos behind our event. The other is creating a free community focused event that welcomes all members of our community- that includes you! Seeing Civic Park come alive on Olive Tree Market day, puts a smile on our collective Olive Tree families faces!
