The markets will be held on January 18-19 at the Great Lakes Aquatic and Leisure Centre, on Lake Street, Forster.

Organiser Sam Adams said the markets would be an event for the whole community.

“Initially the markets started as a way to bring the community together in Sydney,” Mr Adams said.

“We wanted to give the community a large variety of different food stalls and something for the whole family to enjoy and from there it has grown to be a huge weekend event which includes shopping opportunities and rides for the kids,” he said.

“We have managed to grow the event each year and this year we have been able to add live bands and shade cover which was a very popular request.

“We then decided to explore coming out into the regions, we are so excited to get into the area.”

The markets open at noon on both Friday and Saturday and run through until 9pm each night.

Mr Adams said the markets would be an international street foodies’ market like no other.

“After the success of the Aussie Night Markets in a few regions we were contacted by people in the Forster-Tuncurry community via Facebook, who wanted us to come and host a market weekend here and so we thought why not,” he said.

“When people arrive there will certainly be the wow factor with lots going on for everyone to enjoy.

“Over the weekend we will have Asian foods, burgers, satay, schnitzels, wood fire pizzas, noodles plus a dedicated dessert sections and the list goes on but rest assured there will be something for the entire family.

“So come on down and have a great time with the whole family and eat some amazing foods.”
