Discover the best things to do in the Illawarra this weekend – including food, markets, live music, and so much more.

Huge fans of live entertainment over here! We love seeing live entertainment in regional Australia – the more, the better! It not only helps a regional area feel vibrant and exciting, but it has the potential to help support local artists and performers, too.

We’re excited to see round 2 for 2025 is open for an opportunity for hospitality venues in NSW to host live performances with support from this grant. We want to see as many regional venues get the grant as possible – so take a look!

How To Say Thanks And We Love You To The Father Figures In Our Lives

The economy is flip flopping around at the moment, but that doesn’t mean we have to stay at home and eat baked beans or pull out the old 101 Ways With Mince recipe book.

It’s all about keeping local businesses top of mind. It sure is tough out there for a lot of our region’s households and local businesses. Rising costs of living have put pressure on Aussie households and the local businesses our community rely on. From grocery bills to fuel prices, our household budgets are stretched.

That’s why we’ve created the #SupportLocalChallenge: a month of ways to back our community and to help our region thrive through the tough times. You don’t need to break the bank, just do what you can, when you can. But together we’ll make a huge impact.

Let’s go!
