Byron’s about to get totally awesome!
On Sunday 5 October, the iconic and original Byron Community Market is rewinding the clock and throwing the ultimate 80s party at Main Beach Foreshore.
Expect big hair, neon threads and boom-worthy beats. The lineup is stacked: The Versace Boys, Lainie Godiva and Obisun cranking out non-stop 80s jams, and at 10am The Cassettes are bringing a dance workshop that’ll have everyone busting moves Madonna-style.
And you better believe it, we’ve got prizes for the best dressed. So raid the op shop, dig out the leg warmers and don’t be afraid to go full glam, the brighter, bolder and louder, the better.
For those who live for the ‘gram, our Tag ’n’ Win Instagram comp is where it’s at. Snap your best photos at the market, tag @byronmarkets, and every post gets you in the running for the Totally 80s Lucky Dip. Five winners will be announced the week after. Totally rad!
Of course, the market will be buzzing with over 200 stalls slinging local food, fashion, art and handmade goods. All with that classic Byron flavour, just amped up with retro spirit.
Natwah Petruszka, Byron Community Market Coordinator, said the 80s theme is all about energy and connection.
“The 80s were about colour, creativity and community, the same things that make our markets special. This event is a chance for everyone to step back into that vibe and celebrate together".
The Born in the 80s Market is also part of the Byron Community Centre’s 130-year celebrations, marking 1987, the year the Centre first took on the markets. What better way to celebrate than by throwing it back to the decade it all began?
So grab your crew, tease that fringe and get ready to party like it’s 1987. The Born in the 80s Byron Community Market is gonna be totally rad.
