Last weekend of Bands on the Bay

Thursday is Farmers Market Day

Choose from the Berry Farmers Market in the Berry Showgrounds from 2-5 or the Nowra CBD Fresh Food Market in Jellybean Park from 2-6. Both have loads of produce, condiments, beverages, and food trucks so you can eat something before you over-spend on the groceries.
