We are excited to bring you a second beautiful collective of creatives to Olive Tree at the New Annual in Civic Park this Saturday.

Olive Tree at the New Annual is part of the NSW Governments initiative to support councils to activate local public spaces by running free, safe activations and events. The ethos behind creating our special markets is to bring our community of Newcastle together to connect after COVID. Supporting our creative community-including makers and creator of small batch handmade goods, musicians and performers during this time of economic recovery is vitally important.
