Fraser Rise will come alive when 40 stallholders showcase their wares at Melton council’s first Love Local Market.

The inaugural market is being held on Sunday, November 26, and will provide an opportunity for local businesses to sell their products, showcase the services they provide and promote their business.

Stallholders at the market will be selling personalised gifts, handmade jewellery and accessories, candles, festive décor, self-care plans, fresh flower arrangements, even conveyancing services and disability services.

A range of free activities for families will also be available including a free community barbecue, a nature activity, face painting, henna painting, coffee van and live music.

Due to popular demand at previous council events, the pre-loved children’s items section will also be making a return – where community members can browse a range of donated items that are free to take home.

Melton Mayor Kathy Majdlik said Love Local markets highlight the quality and creativity of residents and businesses that call the City of Melton home.

“Everyone loves wandering around local markets looking for that special gift for a loved one or a friend,’ she said.

“This is a really easy way to support people and businesses in our own community and boost the local economy.’’

Stay up to date with what’s happening at the market and meet stallholders on Facebook.

The Love Local Market is being held at the Fraser Rise Children’s and Community Centre located at 46 City Vista Ct, Fraser Rise on Sunday, November 26, between 10am and 2pm.
