A Christmas market is coming to Keilor early next month, giving locals an opportunity to chat, connect and get some early Christmas shopping done.
Market owner and organiser Jodie Robinson said the Christmas market is always a good time.
“It’s a good event to bring the community together. Our last December market was busy…It was buzzing to be honest,” Ms Robinson said.
More than 35 local vendors will be located inside and outside the Keilor Bowls Club, selling a range of goods and gifts.
“We’ve got clothes, we’ve got pottery, we’ve got jewellery, little crocheted animals. We’ve got a whole range of things,” Ms Robinson said.
“These are small businesses that were shut down during Covid, so they’ve missed out on an income.
“A lot of our products are made with love. Some of them are making their products with their own two hands. ”
There will also be free face-painting for the kids, coffee and food vans, and even a special visit from Father Christmas and Mother Claus.
The Village Night Market also runs as a regular monthly market throughout the months of March to May and August to December.
Entry is by donation with raised funds going towards a different charity each month.
Since starting the market in 2021, over $12,500 in raised funds has been donated to different charities.
The Christmas Village Night Market will run from 6-9pm on Wednesday 6 December at the Keilor Bowls Club, 2 Mercedes St, Keilor.
“Come down, have a glass of wine, and support your local businesses,” Ms Robinson said.
