The weekend kicks off with a Welcome Function (including music, substantial appetizers (dinner substitute) and drinks) at the Cooke Park Pavilion on Friday 10 October 2025.

On Saturday morning at the Parkes Services Club, category winners will be announced, and we will hear some inspiring case studies from a selection of the 2025 awards entries.

Afterwards, there is time to visit Homegrown Parkes, a community event right next door that celebrates local produce, crafts, and sustainable living initiatives. It features a market with over 50 stalls where you can enjoy local artists' performances, and sample fresh food and refreshments. Your ticket will include a voucher to purchase your lunch at Homegrown.

In the afternoon, there is a choice of three tours - Lake Endeavour, the Parkes Wetlands and Splash Park (all 2024 winning Tidy Towns projects), or visit the famous icon, 'The Dish'.

The excitement will continue on Saturday evening at the Parkes Services Club for the awards presentation dinner, where in addition to revealing the remaining category winners and announcing the overall winner, attendees will enjoy live music and entertainment.

The weekend will conclude with a BBQ breakfast on Sunday morning back at the Cooke Park Pavilion.

Don’t miss out on this unforgettable, value-packed weekend filled with inspiration, community spirit, and recognition of those making a difference in keeping our towns beautiful.
