Hills locals can expect an evening of festivities in Upwey on Thursday 30 March, as local traders look to build community spirit after the pandemic.
Arts and crafts, a wandering Easter bunny and a DJ will all be part of the Upwey Twilight Community ‘Eggstravaganza’ festivities on the town’s main street from 5pm to 8pm.
Upwey Myotherapy owner Mat Richardson said Christmas and Halloween events in 2022 have attracted “huge crows” to the area after the pandemic impacted local businesses.
“Everyone’s had a ball, so we figured we would run three events a year, and Easter is one of them,“ Mr Richardson said.
“We’ll be giving out Easter eggs, we’ll be decorating the main street; a lot of the shops are doing their own things for the kids and the families…there’ll be special meal deals that we’re putting together.”
“We’ve advertised it in all the primary schools…If the last two events are to go by…we pulled quite big crowds and the feedback has been amazing.”
