What are Gig Buddies Group Social Events?
Gig Buddies group social events are hosted by the GB team so that all signed-up participants and volunteers in the Gig Buddies project can catch up and do fun stuff in a group setting.

Monthly group social events are held all over Metro Sydney and Central Coast.
The main focus of the Gig Buddies project is to "buddy-up" participants and volunteers so they can catch up and go to their own events together.

Gig Buddies group social events are a "bonus" way for participants to meet people and socialise.
All group social events are run as "not-for-profit".
Participants only pay for a group social event if they need to cover the cost of admission tickets, venue hire and/or catering.

Group social events are included* as part of being in the Gig Buddies project.
* participants pay for their own food and drinks (unless a catered event)

Tell me about the gig:
Step into the charm of a Parisian village with no passport required. On the first Sunday of every month, The Entertainment Quarter transforms into Le Marché – French Markets, a vibrant celebration of French culture, cuisine and craftsmanship.
Set beneath the Market Canopy, more than 45 artisan stalls bring the spirit of France to life with fresh produce, handmade homewares, boutique fashion and an ever-changing line up of gourmet delights.
