      Night Markets Banner Image

      Night Mar­kets are Council's signature events and are held on selected dates in the Todd Mall 5pm – 9pm.

      Each night market offers a spectrum of entertainment for the whole family! 

      With live, local enter­tain­ment for the whole fam­i­ly, you can bop while you shop for authen­tic Abo­rig­i­nal art, hand-made crafts, up-cycled trea­sures, books, hand­made cloth­ing and jew­el­ry, plus a huge range of tasty treats from our local food vendors.

      Coun­cil active­ly encour­ages BYO reusable cut­lery and take-away food con­tain­ers to reduce the vol­ume of Sin­gle Use Plas­tics going into landfill. 

      Council now offers reusable plates to all food vendors wishing to participate.

      Pow­er & Water truck sup­plies free drink­ing water sta­tion. We encour­age every­one to bring own water bot­tle and refill to min­i­mal­ize use of paper cups.

      Mayoral Awards

      The Alice Springs May­oral Awards are cel­e­brat­ed in line with the Inter­na­tion­al Day of Peo­ple with a Dis­abil­i­ty (IDP­wD) to high­light the con­tri­bu­tions made by indi­vid­u­als with dis­abil­i­ty and by indi­vid­u­als for dis­abil­i­ty communities.

      The aim of the Alice Springs May­oral Awards is to high­light, acknowl­edge and give thanks to the peo­ple in the com­mu­ni­ty who ​‘make a dif­fer­ence’ – demon­strat­ed either in their own lives or through their actions and com­mit­ment to others.
