Sunshine social is bringing the street vibes with a pop-up market this Saturday.

The market will run from 2pm to 6pm, with food, crafts, activities and more available, giving people of all ages something to enjoy.

There are already 30 stalls locked in to the market, with more potentially on the way before the weekend.

Organiser Alison Crawford said she felt that there was a lack of community events such as this in the area, and organisers wanted to bring the community together.

“We thought there’s nothing really out this way until the Williamstown Market, but nothing here in Sunshine, we’ve got a great space here, so why not?” she said.

“It’s a great way to pull the community together, there’s lots of great local makers who will have their items on offer.

“It should be a great day out for the whole family, grab a coffee or a drink, because we are fully licensed, get your kids something to eat and get their face painted.”

She said although spaces are filling up quickly, there is still some room for local vendors.

Dogs are also welcome to enjoy a day out.

The market is on Saturday, August 24, at the Sunshine Social on Glengala Road.
