Palm Cove Markets coming this weekend
SUNDAY, December 4, will be the last Palm Cove Markets for the year.
These markets hope to be bigger and better than the year before.
The Palm Cove Markets will be a great place to come along and shop for that something special or unique Christmas gift for everyone in the family or secret Santa for the office.
There will be over 130 stalls, all showcasing something new, different and unique – many items locally made.
Each month the stall holders showcase their incredible talent in a diverse range of products and services in art and craft, fashion and beauty, health and wellbeing, home and garden and food and beverage.
The Palm Cove Markets are a wonderful social day’s outing for families, locals and, of course, tourists and certainly help support small businesses and the local economy.
With Christmas Day just around the corner, it will be an excellent opportunity to find something special for your family, your pets, your favourite teacher or aunt or even just to spoil yourself.
FNQ residents are encouraged to come along and support this local event and, by doing so, support small local businesses. In its totality, profits from the markets are contributed to local charities and families in need in the Cairns area.
This year so far, the Rotary Club of Cairns Sunrise has already donated over $20,000.
Some charities to benefit from these donations include the Royal Flying Doctors Association, Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation, Wheels of Wellness, local students undertaking scholarships, the Survive 25 program run by Dr Katrina Starmer, and many more.
This year, the Rotary Club of Cairns Sunrise have also organized a Christmas raffle prize worth over $3,000 with items donated by stall holders and local businesses in the area.
Some of the prizes include accommodation vouchers and seafood vouchers. People who cannot attend the markets can still buy raffle tickets online visiting, www.raffletix.com.au?ref=wam9x

The Rotary Club of Cairns Sunrise is located on Williams Esplanade between Harpa Street and Cedar Road at Palm Cove.
