Happy Saturday, Wellington! ☀️
Hope your weekend has been great so far. We had a bit of sunshine today, and tomorrow is looking like an improvement on the last few Sundays — fingers crossed! 🤞
We’ve had a pretty challenging run of weather lately, and with that in mind, I want to give a huge shoutout to all the vendors who turn up every Sunday to be here for you. ❤️
Our produce suppliers are setting up from 4.30am and working throughout the day to bring you the best produce they can. That’s literally rain, hail or shine.
Then there are all the other stallholders who are able to trade safely in whatever weather we face — they still show up and make it happen. And let’s be honest, a market without coffee and/or a treat or two would be pretty sad! ☕️🍰
I really appreciate the effort everyone puts in, week in and week out. It doesn’t go unnoticed.
We also managed to offer the Harbourside Markets “Sunday Secret” burger on two of our three Sundays. A huge thanks to everyone who contributed, and especially Alex, James and Grace for absolutely pumping those burgers out the window! 🍔
We produced close to 200 burgers, which, considering the weather and everything else going on, was a fantastic effort — all for a great cause, The Shed Project. 💛
There’s always plenty planned here at the market, including pop-ups, community groups and live music. Sometimes, unfortunately, the weather has other ideas!
And finally… got a cute dog with a story? 🐶
Come and find me! I’m always up for a quick interview. 🎤😂
