Following the resounding success of its first edition in March, the Little Africa Night Market is set to return, bringing even more colour, culture, and community spirit to Footscray this month.

Organisers promise an evening full of family-friendly fun, with a variety of food stalls showcasing the vibrant flavours of Footscray’s diverse traders, handmade crafts, stunning fashion displays and roving entertainment throughout the night.

There will also be free henna and face painting.

Visitors can expect a vibrant program that showcases both emerging and established talent.

The market will take place on Saturday 22 November, from 4-9pm, at the Little Africa Precinct Footscray, 138 Nicholson sSreet, Footscray

The market is presented by the Little Africa Traders Organisation and supported by Maribyrnong council and the state government.
