It's time to celebrate everything PURPLE! We are closing the CBD streets to allow for a day of craziness and entertainment. Businesses will be dressed up to take out the Rose Bowl trophy and practicing their skits to head down to Market Square to compete for the Silver and Gold cups at lunch time. 

Jacaranda Thursday will begin at 7am with the 2GF and Independent FREE breakfast in Market Square. Be there early as the lines are crazy. Market stalls will open in Prince, Pound and Fitzroy Street’s early and the tone will come alive with four stages of entertainment throughout the day.
