The last few weeks have been drizzly and dull – sort of what you’d expect as we approach the middle of winter. So Crazy Day was just the tonic that Bellingen needed.
What’s Crazy Day you ask ?
Well, on the third Saturday of June, Bellingen traders offer crazy discounts and set up stalls in the main street …

And as Crazy Day coincides with the monthly community market, talented people come out of hibernation to sell their creations …
A gaggle of women friends from Goosey Goosey set up their stall to sell their quality hand-made art and crafts …
Of course, nobody goes thirsty … there’s even pedal powered organic sugar cane juice on offer, and it tastes a whole lot better than it looks!
There was an abundance of delicious (and mostly healthy) locally produced food.
The crowds came from near and far, the sun shone all morning, the children were entertained with camel rides and a bouncing castle, and a fabulous day was had by all.
While we enjoy the beauty, air, plants and warmth of the summer solstice, you are creating a celebration of colour and fun at the other turning of the year – keeping spirits up! Looks like a delightful day.
Ah yes, but it’s back to dreary this week!
Hi Fenellla, nice to keep up to date with all the Bello news.
This post makes me miss the color and all round vibe of the Bellingen Shire.
Hi Peter,
Colourful and probably milder than where you are now – keep warm!
