FOR THE NEIGHBOURHOOD, JUNE 20-21
The whole Market and all its friends. Food, yes — but also music, conversation, connection, and education. Something worth leaving the house for: an open, warm weekend for the entire community.
PROGRAM
Tastings, demonstrations and ticketed events.
8AM
Pilates at the Market
KAYA Hosts a Mat Pilates Class

Exclusive Event for Kids
This special activation is helping kids build a positive relationship with healthy food, including how it connects them to other people and the world around us.
Location: to be confirmed
10AM
Still Life Drawing Class
Food For Everyone Hosts an Art Class
For centuries, artists gathered around the human body with charcoal and wine. We thought vegetables deserved the same treatment.
Join Food For Everyone founder and artist Gemma Leslie for a relaxed creative morning — drawing sculptural arrangements of winter produce, seafood and herbs. No experience required. Coffee and pastries included.
10am Saturday and 10am Sunday.
10AM-3PM
Get a Snag
Hagen’s Organics Sausage Sizzle in the Square
Like your regular weekend sausage sizzle — but better. Hagen’s Organics are slinging in-house sausages with fun flavour twists (think Vegemite and cheese) in the Square all weekend.
1PM-2:30PM
Pasta Making Workshop
Julia Busuttil Nishimura Hosts a Pasta Making Class
There’s something quietly devotional about making pasta from scratch. On this hands-on morning, bestselling cook and author Julia Busuttil Nishimura will guide you through the art of silky egg pasta — from dough to shape, with good technique and great company.
Your ticket includes a glass of wine, a selection of cheeses, and a market ingredient box with recipe card so you can bring it home and do it all again.
1pm Saturday and 1pm Sunday.
10AM-12PM
Free Face Painting
Something for the Kids
Our friendly face painters will be set up near Stir the Pot and Southside in Harvest Hall.
10AM-2PM Saturday
Adopt a Dog
Australian Animal Protection Society in Market Square
The wonderful team from AAPS will be in Market Square with donation tins, animal profiles, and even some friendly pups who are currently up for adoption. Interested in adding a new furry friend to your family? This is your chance to find out more.
