The family-friendly food market begins on October 13 and continues every Saturday from 5pm to 9pm, weather permitting, until the the end of daylight savings.

People are encouraged to grab a picnic blanket and head to the Town Beach park reserve near the skate park to enjoy tasty food and live music.

There will be 10 food vendors at the October 13 market with cuisines ranging from Indian to Thai, Moroccan and North African, alongside fish and chips, gourmet hot dogs and fresh lemonade.

Sue and Jim Newman will entertain the crowd at the October 13 market.

Event organiser Maureen Shaw said the Twilight Food Market was going really well although the weather was often against them.

The venue makes the most of Port Macquarie’s coastal scenery.

“It’s the most beautiful location – it’s totally gorgeous,” Mrs Shaw said.

She hopes to continue growing the Port Macquarie event.

“I want it to get bigger and I want to get more vendors, especially local vendors,” Mrs Shaw said.

“It all benefits the community. They spend their money there and keep their money there.”

The market attracts food lovers, families and holidaymakers.​
