The Shire of Exmouth is excited to announce a new community-centred event to bring residents, seasonal workers, local businesses and community groups together, fostering connection ahead of the upcoming tourism season.

Following the success of standalone community markets, outdoor cinema nights and food truck fiestas, the Shire of Exmouth is offering an all-inclusive community showcase to bring these events and more together as one vibrant event. The event will highlight the many opportunities available to people living in Exmouth and foster a space where connections are made to last, and bring positive, influential impact to local groups, clubs and businesses throughout the year.

Shire president Matt Niikkula said:

“We are delighted to be showcasing the multiple talents, flavours and community services available for residents and visitors of Exmouth ahead of the annual increase in population over the winter months. Making meaningful connections is vital in a small, remote community, and bringing the array of opportunities together in one place is something new and exciting for both residents, businesses and visitors alike.”

The event will feature market stalls for local businesses, club and group sign-ups, volunteer opportunities, local creative talent, family-friendly activities, food trucks, and a special family-friendly outdoor cinema screening with free popcorn. The event is designed to set a welcoming atmosphere for community connection and draw together long-term locals and new residents with a warming start to life in Exmouth.  

By creating an event for people to meet, explore and engage the Shire remains committed to nurturing a friendly, safe and inclusive community spirit. A shared Shire and community vision encourages residents and visitors to feel supported and informed of the opportunities available to them as the busy season begins.

We look forward to welcoming new, returning and local residents in this one-of-a-kind, never-before community afternoon, which will segway into an outdoor cinema screening under the Exmouth stars.
