KBCCI brings back Boulder Markets to bolster businesses

A new take on an old favourite event aims to breathe extra life into Boulder’s main street this weekend. The Kalgoorlie-Boulder Chamber of Commerce and Industry will host the Burt Street Boulder Markets on Sunday. Unlike the traditional event which took over Loopline Park and spilled into Boulder’s main street, this weekend’s markets will be exclusively on Burt Street and will feature more than 20 stalls with a wide range of products. The markets are part of the KBCCI’s ACTIV8-KB initiative which encourages local shopping and will promote traders on Burt Street. KBCCI events co-ordinator Tori O’Connor said the event would be a great way to have some family fun on Father’s Day while also helping local businesses and activating the Boulder CBD. “Activating both Hannan and Burt Street is crucial for boosting local spending and keeping shops thriving,” she said. “Attendees can look forward to seeing stilt walkers, circus performers, local aerial acts by Heart of Gold Dance Company, free face-painting and book signings from local authors.” The markets will run from 9am to 1pm, with food options also available.
