Party on at Proudfoot’s

LIVE music, street art, twilight shopping and hands-on fun will fill Murwillumbah’s Proudfoot’s Lane on Saturday, May 17, for a free community street party.

Organisers are inviting the community to amble through the lane and take in the bold new street art, interactive installations, and lightboxes showcasing local artists.

Street murals, art installations and lighting projections created by artists Gus Eagleton, Leah Bartholomew, Bec Denholm, Binx Designs, Kyle Slabb, Madeline White, Thea Skelsey and Michael Philp provide a feast for the eyes.

A pop-up barber station by Bonneville Barbershop will offer quick fringe trims, moustache and beard touch-ups, and sharp styles for a quick refresh.

Community members can unleash their inner artists at Chalk Mural Mania and help transform the laneway with colour and creativity.

Tweed Regional Museum will present a roving display with hands-on activities inspired by How to Draw a Dinosaur and a projection experience by Craig Walsh that brings ancient creatures to life in the Tweed River.

The Youth Chillarium is designed for young people to hang out, connect, and unwind during the festivities.

Bring a game face and best serve for the all-age handball sessions, which will feature an Australian Champion or visit community group Knit Happens to create something on-site to help yarn bomb the lane with colour.

Local businesses, including Bolt & Buckle, My Love, MaddisonBea, and others, will be open for twilight shopping for local treasures.

Murwillumbah Community Centre will present a cultural performance by a local First Nations group celebrating its connection to Country.

Live music will be provided by Phil & Tilley and a line-up of local buskers.

Modern Grocer, Wollumbin Street Bakery, Pasta’Bah and The Gin Experience will offer food and beverage options for every craving.

Business Murwillumbah is hosting the free event as part of the Murwillumbah Community Improvement pilot project, supported by the NSW Government.
