The morning will consist of a selection of social activities, including a group Yogalates session, live music, pop-up stalls, gelato and free coffee.
Parkes Shire councillor Marg Applebee said the events will give local women a chance to support each other and come together as a community.
"International Women's Day gives us the chance to raise awareness of issues around gender bias and celebrate the achievements of women at a local level," said Cr Applebee.
"It is important that we come together as a community to show our support for women and help uplift them to break the bias as a collective."
Led by Jenz Yogalates, the Yoga and Pilates fusion session will leave you feeling refreshed and energised.
Feel empowered through this safe and gentle practice aimed at building strength, stamina and flexibility!
Following the Yogalates session, participants are encouraged to stick around to grab a free coffee from Coffee Fix by Larz, enjoy the live music by Gracey Denham-Jones and support our local small businesses by checking out the pop-up stalls in the Cooke Park Pavilion.
