Our Homegrown Parkes Expressions of Interest will open on Friday, 11 July 2025.
We do invite applications from existing stallholders first. We value their ongoing commitment to this community event.
We have received over 30 applications, so get your EOI in early for our event on Saturday, 11 October 2025 in Cooke Park.
All EOI are referred to our Homegrown Parkes Committee for approval.
We want to maintain a focus on our local stallholders, while also welcoming diversity from across the region.
