Gunnedah's Autumn Markets returned over the weekend and enjoyed significant fanfare

Hundreds of people attended to enjoy the entertainment, music and stalls put together by Gunnedah Shire Council and the Two Rivers Arts Council (TRAC).

While some residents were there mainly to take in the atmosphere as opposed to spend money, many of the 39 stall operators endured very successful days.

TRAC market coordinator Kyle Smith said the event was well supported and provided good encouragement to go around again in the future.

"Lot's of people attended and it was a fantastic day really, everyone had a good time, the performances were good, the weather was good and everyone seemed to be having fun," he said.

"We'll definitely be going again next year, we actually had it planned for last year but then the apocalypse shut that down."

The event received funding through the NSW Government's The Festival of Place - Summer Fund.

The markets were part of broader harmony week plans, with a presentation from tourism blogger Amanda Woods at the library on Monday also attracting some attention.

It is a big week for the town in general, with the Gunnedah Country Music Muster starting on Wednesday and running through to Sunday, meaning a heavy stream of people from around the region are expected to be travelling through.
