Thriftmas in July promotion planned

09th Jun 2026

Residents are being encouraged to clear out their cupboards, sheds and spare rooms and join in Guyra’s inaugural Thriftmas in July weekend on July 11th and 12th.
Organised by the Guyra and Community Progress Association, the event aims to bring the community together while promoting sustainability, supporting local businesses and creating a fun winter attraction for residents and visitors alike.
One of the major features of the weekend will be the Guyra Garage Sale Trail, with organisers now calling for registrations from locals who would like to host a garage sale and turn unwanted items into extra cash. For those who prefer not to welcome shoppers to their homes, the event will also include Thrifty Market Stalls, with no stallholder fees applying.
The market stalls will follow the theme of “Make it, bake it, grow it, thrift it”, with community organisations, sporting groups and service clubs also encouraged to participate with stalls that align with the event’s ethos.
Adding a delicious twist to the weekend, local cafés and eateries are being invited to take part in Guyra’s Best Hot Chocolate Trail. Businesses will create their own signature hot chocolate, complete with a unique name, and compete for the title of Guyra’s Best Hot Chocolate as voted by visitors. The winning business will take home a trophy and plenty of local bragging rights.
Organisers say the hot chocolate trail has been designed to support the town’s business precinct during the colder months while encouraging visitors to explore local cafés and eateries.
More activities are currently being planned, with details of the full program, participating businesses and Garage Sale Trail locations to be announced in the coming weeks.
Organisers hope the weekend will not only provide a boost for local businesses and community groups but also highlight the benefits of thrifting, including reducing waste, saving money and giving unwanted items a second life.
If successful, Thriftmas in July could become an annual fixture on the Guyra calendar, growing into an even bigger community event in future years.
To register your interest for the Garage Sale Trail, Thrifty Market Stalls and the Hot Chocolate Trail, submit details by email to guyraprogress@gmail.com.
Registrations close on June 26th.
