On Saturday the inaugural A Day in the Kingsway will take over the Launceston street from 2pm to 9pm, with a great lineup of food, drink and live music.
Cityprom’s executive officer Steve Henty said the free event was aimed at re-acquainting people with Kingsway and the businesses that support it.
“I think a lot of people still think of Kingsway as being an old laneway that used to have Dick Smith on it,” he said.
“The reality is there is a great mix of shops and it is such a funky little space.
“This event is a great example of local businesses coming together to put on a great show.”
Saturday’s event will also celebrate the launch of Launceston’s first parklet – a public space created as part of the City of Launceston’s City Heart Project.
Mr Henty said the project was part of a long-term focus to encourage more people into the city on foot, with outdoor spaces to sit back and relax.

Being a health reporter to me is about more than just reporting the problems. It's about asking why they are happening in the first place and what needs to change to fix it.
