The Forecast Is Looking Perfect For Homegrown Parkes On Saturday

October 9, 2025 by Roxane Manley

Cooke Park is where you will find all the Parkes Homegrown action this Saturday.

If you haven’t already planned your day, now is the time to check out what is hap­pening at Cooke Park, with proceedings kicking off at 9am and wrapping up at 2pm.

Parkes Shire Concert Band will be wel­coming everyone to the Park at 9.10am.

Event organisers look forward to wel­coming Parkes Dance Co to Homegrown Parkes for the first time. They will be taking the stage at 10.30am, followed by Parkes M&D with a preview of their upcoming pro­duction Little Shop of Horrors at 11am.

Unfortunately the coffee roasting work­shop has to be cancelled. There will still be giveaways and goodies that will be drawn at the workshop with Phil and Nadia Do­nato, being held at 12.30pm. Join them to learn how to make Tiramisu! Registrations essential.

Our Fijian friends will be performing on the main stage at 1.30pm to send everyone off. What a fantastic way to finish the day at Homegrown Parkes!As part of the Keep Australia Beautiful Tidy Town’s weekend, Homegrown Parkes attendees will have the opportunity to join one of three bus trips leaving from Cooke Park at 2pm.

This event is made possible with fund­ing and in-kind support from Parkes Shire Council, Evolution Mining Northparkes op­erations and Central West Lachlan Land­care.

We look forward to seeing you between 9am and 2pm on Saturday at Cooke Park.
