Granny Smith Festival, Eastwood
21/10/2017 @ 9:00 am - 8:30 pm

21 October 2017 | 9 am – 8.30 pm | Eastwood

The annual Granny Smith Festival celebrates the life and legacy of one of our district’s most famous citizens, Maria Ann Smith – aka Granny Smith – who, back in 1868, ‘accidentally’ grew the first batch of little green apples that bear her name and are now grown all over the world.

The Granny Smith Festival began in 1985 and is now regarded as one of Sydney’s largest street festivals, a true community carnival, full of colour and good old fashioned fun. It attracts over 90,000 each year and is supported by local businesses, sporting and service organisations, schools and the wider community.

A key element of the Granny Smith Festival success story is the involvement of sponsors who allow this unique community event to continue to offer memorable experiences for local and visitors.

Rozelle Collectors Markets
21/10/2017 @ 9:00 am - 3:00 pm

The Rozelle Collectors Market is Sydney’s favourite outdoor second hand, bric-a-brac and antique market. Stallholders have been selling their pre-loved wares to an ever expanding audience in the grounds of the Rozelle Public School for over 20 years and the Rozelle Markets have developed a reputation as a brilliant spot for a poke about, a catch up with friends and place to bag some unique finds.

This convenient open air market operates every Saturday and Sunday, year round, and offers a beautiful outdoor setting alongside the historical buildings of the Rozelle Public School. The Markets are often listed as a must-do market experience for Sydneysiders and tourists from interstate and overseas.

Browse a huge range of pre-loved antiques, collectibles, fashion, jewellery, art and music, all while being entertained by top notch local performers. And when you’re in need of a break, local artisanal providores and international food stalls offer a delicious range of great value food.
