Organisers of the beloved Tecoma Twilight Ethical Market have announced the event will not run in 2025, the decision comes after careful reflection by the small volunteer team behind the market, citing rising compliance costs and logistical challenges.
“This hasn’t been an easy decision,” the organising team said in a statement.
“The market has always been about community, connection, and creating a space for ethical makers and small businesses to thrive. But the challenges of running such an event have grown significantly, and we need time to pause, reflect, and assess how it might return in a sustainable way.”
The market has long been a gathering place for stallholders, shoppers, artists, and families, more than just stalls, it’s been a celebration of creativity and local values.
Organisers expressed deep gratitude to the community for its ongoing support over the years, from volunteers and vendors to loyal visitors.
They also encouraged locals to continue supporting ethical and local businesses across the hills during the break.
While there are no confirmed plans for the market’s return just yet, the team hopes this pause will open the door to new possibilities and fresh energy in the future.
Updates will be shared as decisions are made.
