Whittlesea is gearing up for a night of community fun at the free Doreen twilight market.

Mark your calendar for February 9 and head down to the Laurimar Wetlands for an evening of free family entertainment, including live music and roving entertainment, market stalls, face painting, reptile encounters and more.

Explore the nanna market full of stitched, knitted, crocheted and hand-baked goodies, along with plenty of fun activities and roving performances for kids to enjoy.

Be entertained by live music from Melbourne’s pop-up kerbside mobile jazz club, The Band Wagon, and have a dance on what is set to be an awesome summer night.

You can pack a picnic, pick up some takeaway food from nearby shops or enjoy a sausage sizzle and food trucks at the market.

Whittlesea chair administrator Lydia Wilson is encouraging people to come along and enjoy an evening of free activities with their local community, while also supporting small local businesses

at the market.

“Local events such as this are a great way for our community to get together and connect. With lots to see and do, there’s something for everyone to enjoy,” she said.

“The nanna market is sure to be a hit too, showcasing the hand-crafted work of local small businesses.”

The market runs from 5-8pm.
