That Bath Bomb Shop owner Ashlee Morgan said the business was excited to participate.
"[It's] our first time having the shop front open and participating in the sale. It's the first sale we've had altogether at our store, so we're super excited," she said.
"Definitely, it's going to bring more people into town which means more businesses are going to have people coming through their shop doors and that is great for Launceston in general."

"We don't import them from anywhere, they're handmade here in Launceston, we're Launceston made.
"It's a lot of fun. It is great to be able to put names to faces ... it's great to build relationships with people you do see weekly."
CityProm interim executive officer Amanda McEvoy said the event would be back bigger and better after an enforced hiatus due to COVID-19.
"[We're] enormously excited. It was obviously such a hard year for everybody last year so we wanted to make sure we were coming back bigger and better than ever before," she said.
"Crazy Day is something that people in Launceston know about, look forward too and hopefully we can deliver on all fronts."
