Thanks to the support of Lismore City Council, Sunday is going to be full of wonderful musical performances. Michelle Belle joins us at 1125 on the oval.

Michelle Belle weaves her take on timeless classics with original songs in her unique style, with a voice that delivers honey over grit and old style Hill Country guitar work with a funky edge.
With diverse influences from Piaf to Bob Dylan to Bonnie Raitt,
Michelle has been playing at Festivals, music venues and markets in eastern Australia for 40 years and still going strong now with her solo show and with Miss Jodie in “Kiss My Boots”

🎶 The program is here! 🎶

We’re getting very close to a pretty special Sunday — and now you can start planning your day at The Channon Craft Market’s 50th Celebrations.

From our Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony with Uncle Gilbert through to live music, stories, official speeches and a few familiar faces, we’ve got plenty happening throughout the day.

On the program you’ll find Lismore Flood Water Revival, Kevin Newton, Michelle Bell, Tobi and Friends, Monkey and the Fish and Luke Vassella.

And there’s more happening around the Market too: including the Chai Tent, decorations by Benny Zable, the Bubble Girls and RiverFest BioBlitz activities.

📅 Sunday 11 October
📍 The Channon Craft Market, The Channon

Have a look through the program, pick out what you don’t want to miss, and come spend part (or all)of this very special market day with us.

And when the Market day wraps up, the celebrations don’t have to! You can keep the evening going at the Chai Tent and Drumming Circle, or if that’s more your style, head on down to The Channon Tavern and settle in for the rest of the evening.

50 years of people, art, music, craft and community. We reckon that’s worth celebrating. ❤️

Proudly supported by Lismore City Council.

Remember we are a pet and alcohol free event
