Between 8 am and 4 pm the park will host a welcome precinct for the cruise ship – a marketplace which will be open to the public and is designed to showcase the region.
There will be local food and wine, arts and craft and entertainment available.
As well as the regional showcase the Bearded Bakers from pop-up bakery Knafeh will headline. The bakers prepare their popular Jerusalem street food while singing and dancing for customers.
“This event will be a great way to experience what Wollongong has to offer and a great chance for our visitors to mingle with the locals and see what our city has to offer,” Destination Wollongong general manager Mark Sleigh said.
Destination Wollongong chair Tania Brown encouraged locals to support the event.
“The people of Wollongong love their city and want to share that love with others,” she said.
“We know we live in the best place in Australia and it’s time other people realised how amazing this region is.”
The other stars of Lang Park will be the 500 locals who have volunteered their time as part of the IRT ambassador program.
