🌸 ST MARYS… THANK YOU! 🌸
What an absolutely incredible day!
To the thousands of people who came out to visit, shop, eat, explore and celebrate at the 51st St Marys Spring Festival — THANK YOU! 💗
You came out in the heat, you supported local, you filled the streets and you created the incredible atmosphere that makes this event so special.
This year was officially the LARGEST St Marys Spring Festival in its 51-year history, with 240+ stalls showcasing small businesses, food vendors, local organisations and community groups.
And to those businesses, stallholders, performers and community groups — a MASSIVE THANK YOU! 🙌
You are the colour, energy and personality of this festival. You show up, create beautiful spaces, share what you do and help bring the streets of St Marys to life.
The weather certainly threw everything at us this year! ☀️💨⛈️ A 33-degree day, strong winds, a Total Fire Ban announced the night before and a severe storm to finish the day — but the St Marys community still SHOWED UP! 💕
And we need to give one very special HUGE shout-out to Jo & Jo who are St Marys Town Centre — or, as we say at Eat Shop Love… JO x 2! 😂💗
Thank you for bringing the Eat Shop Love team into the St Marys Town Centre family three years ago.
Your trust in our team to help bring your vision for this incredible festival to life is not lost on us, we truly appreciate you both for the passion & love you have for St Marys Town Centre.
This was our 3rd year being part of this incredible event, and we genuinely LOVE working alongside the amazing St Marys Town Centre team who put so much time, energy and heart into bringing the Spring Festival to life.
There is an enormous amount of work behind the scenes to make an event of this scale happen, and we are so proud to play our part.
51 years of tradition.
240+ stalls.
Thousands of visitors.
Local businesses. Local organisations. Local people.
One AMAZING community. 🌸
Thank you, St Marys, for welcoming us, supporting small businesses and continuing to make this event something truly special.
Every purchase from one of the small business market stalls & food vendors supports our Eat Shop Love community, thank you.
