The onset of cold weather needn’t be a negative for Wyndham residents this year, with winter heralding the return of the Firefly Night Market on June 24.
The second annual market at Penrose Promenade Park in Tarneit, will feature more than 70 stalls from local makers and artisans, plus cultural performances, art installations and even some mystical roving characters.
Authentic cultural cuisine will be offered by a variety of food trucks, while a chai tent will provide space for event goers to relax and enjoy a brew.
Wyndham Mayor Susan Metcalf said after the success of last year’s inaugural market, the second edition was not to be missed.
“It’s expected to be bigger and better this year with more space
for an expanded program of events,” she said.
“Many of the stallholders and performers will be locals, and we encourage families to
put the date in their calendar, to support them while enjoying a fantastic community
event.”
The Firefly Night Market takes place from 3pm to 9pm on Saturday June 24.
Entry is free and is open to all ages.
Wickford Road between Penrose Promenade and Tarneit Road will be closed for the duration of the event, except for emergency vehicles, but bus route 167 will continue to service the bus stop outside the shopping centre.
Applications for stall holders are now open, with locals encouraged to apply and those based in or with a connection to Tarneit, given preference.
