Castlemaine traders will be open late again this Friday evening December 17 as part of two Late Night Shopping nights which have been coordinated by Business Mount Alexander (BMA) and supported by Mount Alexander Shire Council in partnership with the Castlemaine Fringe Festival and local businesses.
Business operators will be open until 8pm providing the perfect opportunity to cross some items off your Christmas list!
The Village Square in Frederick Street, Castlemaine will be abuzz with entertainment, a licensed bar and food trucks. Enjoy roving performers throughout the town and admire the kinetic sculpture installation at Victory Park and lightshow on the historic Market Building. So be sure to get along and support our local traders after another challenging year.
