The Fur-Bu-Lous Fashion Paw-Ade will return for a Christmas edition on Thursday 22 December, promising plenty of tail-wagging fun and hosted by drag queen superstar Cougar Morrison.
War on Waste
As always the Scarborough Sunset Markets take the war on waste seriously, reducing their landfill from 100% to just 10% thanks to the powerhouse volunteers at The Waste Warriors, sorting rubbish into compost, Containers for Change, recycling and landfill, washing cups to be reused at the bar, educating the masses about sustainability and selling market exclusive bamboo Eat Kits. Market goers are also always encouraged to BYO their own plates, cutlery, cups and bags from home with vendors promising to fill them up with their market faves.
Entertainment
This years entertainment will have a strong focus on cultural experiences through dance. Expect a rotation of post sunset entertainment (audience participation strongly encouraged). DJ Shann will also be on hand for sunset beats in collaboration with dance, live musicians and even MC battles, along with DJ Flex under the Clocktower and DJ Bammbi in the skate bowl.
Sandbar on the Green
Sandbar’s cranking bar on the green will have ice cold bevs on hand for you to settle in and watch the beautiful sunset! Sitting pretty on the top grassy deck, imbibe in craft beer, premium wine and/or booze-free options.
