Wyndham’s Firefly Night Market in Tarneit has been recognised as
Australia’s Best Small Event at the 2023 Australian Event Awards.
Held on June 24, Firefly Night Market was delivered as part of the Tarneit Suburban
Revitalisation Program in partnership with the Victorian Government.
Wyndham mayor Susan McIntyre, said she was delighted to see Firefly
Night Market recognised at a national level.
“This national award is an incredible achievement and testament to the hard work
and commitment of Council staff, the Tarneit Suburban Revitalisation Board and the
many local artists, makers, community groups and performers who make this event
so special,” Cr McIntyre said.
“This event is a real celebration of the Tarneit community, drawing in thousands of
residents and visitors to experience different cultures and to support our local artists
and businesses.
We’ve been thrilled to see the way in which residents and local businesses have
embraced the market and really made it their own – the power of these collective
efforts have created something truly remarkable.
The success of this event also reflects strong collaboration with the Victorian
Government and we thank them for their support of the Tarneit Revitalisation
Program.”
Firefly Night Market being crowned the country’s best small event follows LIT – lighting up Wyndham Park and the Winter Street Party both being nominated for national awards.
