Come along and celebrate everything local at Homegrown Parkes - a vibrant community event filled with fresh produce, creativity, entertainment and plenty of country charm.

Discover a wonderful mix of local growers, makers, artists, performers, food vendors and community organisations, with something to enjoy for all ages. Soak up live music and dance performances, browse handmade products and fresh local produce, and let the kids enjoy fun activities including a jumping castle and face painting.

Get involved with the ever-popular Crop Swap and bring along your own excess homegrown produce to share, swap and connect with fellow locals. You can also unleash your creativity through a community painting activity open to everyone.

For those curious about growing healthier food, an engaging workshop will explore the fascinating connection between healthy soil, nutritious produce and gut health, with practical ideas to take home.

Homegrown Parkes is more than a community event - it’s a celebration of the people, produce, creativity and community spirit that make our region special. Bring the family, meet local makers and growers, enjoy the atmosphere and support the incredible community organisations and businesses that help make Parkes thrive.
