The events were expertly co-ordinated by Katie Massari from Poppy Emporium and Kylie Witherden from Thrive with Kylie, who aimed to create a relaxed and enjoyable end-of-year shopping experience for local patrons.

Kylie said: "The evenings offered a charming festive vibe, complete with seating areas kindly provided by Tracey from Enhance Styling where shoppers could relax and enjoy champagne or pink lemonade.

“The highlight of the nights was the vibrant live entertainment by local talent Dylan Forge. Our aim was to provide our valued patrons with a relaxed end-of-year shopping experience in Corowa this year.

“Special thanks to Dylan Forge for providing such wonderful entertainment for the evening, and to the local retailers who participated, making the events truly memorable for the community."

With the success of this year’s festivities, the organisers of this year’s event are hopeful for even bigger and better late-night shopping events next year.
