đŤśđź WHOA CANBERRA!
.
As we catch our breath from yesterday, we just wanted to come on here and say thank YOU đđź
.
In eleven years, yesterday was like nothing weâve ever seen or felt before. Please know that by supporting this event, you are supporting and boosting local. Local suppliers, local vendors, local jobs, local artists, local economy and overall OUR INCREDIBLE CITY.
.
It was a privilege to be part of Winter in the City and work alongside @cityrenewalcbr to bring this event to the heart of Canberra. This winter celebration was so special.
.
Thank you to all the strangers who came up to us to say âthank youâ, the DMâs of support and the love from our vendors, the ones who work harder than any of us, we are truly grateful.
.
This no longer feels like an event! It feels like one big massive extended family coming together. A TRUE community. Hats off to you Canberra.
.
And please take a moment to follow @snapsbysal who goes out of her way to capture this city in all its glory and delivered these incredible images for us yesterday.

đ Something new is coming to The Forage.
Thereâs a lot of noise right now about how tough hospitality is. And while thereâs no denying it, the conversation feels incomplete.
INSERT - Forage Real Talk!
A series of honest, unfiltered conversations with some of Canberraâs most respected chefs and business owners.
Weâll talk about the real challenges but also the decisions, pivots, and mindset shifts that keep businesses moving forward. No fluff. Just real stories from the people doing it every day.
Weâd love for you to join us so be sure to sign up to our newsletter and be the first to know when we launch. Link in bio đđź

Running a food stall at an event like The Forage isnât just âturning up and cooking.â
Its early mornings spent prepping.â¨Itâs late nights tweaking menus so every dish hits the mark and stays under $18 đâ¨Itâs weeks of planning, ordering, staffing and packing.
.
Itâs the physical bump in and tight turnaround to be ready for service.
Itâs standing on your feet for 12+ hours straight.â¨Itâs working through the rush, the pressure and the unpredictable moments.â¨Itâs putting everything on the line for one day of trade.
And yet our vendors show up with incredible food and passion.
.
Next time you grab a bite at The Forage know this:â¨Youâre not just buying a meal, youâre backing someoneâs business, their risk, and a whole lot of hard work behind the scenes.
.
And we thank you đđź
