Design market Finders Keepers is set to present Sydneysiders with live music and a range of unique art, design, food and beverage stalls just in time for Christmas.
Two markets are never the same with debut talent and new stalls lined up for each biannual festival-style event.
Currently spread across four major cities, the market has been a popular attraction for creative minds since 2008, getting its start in Sydney with just 20 stalls.
The event now features over 200 independent art and design stalls from Sydney creators and national favourites, waiting to be wrapped and under this year’s plastic tree.

Designer stalls range from beauty and skincare to magazines, making it easy to find something for even the pickiest loved ones. The markets have been curated by self-proclaimed ‘design nerds’ and ‘hunter and gatherers’ whose primary goal is to 'create a sense of awe and provide support to the design community'.
Summer is sorted with featured local swimwear brand ‘Camp Coves Swimwear’ and ‘Felicity Cooney’ handmade sandals.

Australia is well-represented with tongue-in-cheek brand ‘Antipastel’, presenting jewellery, homewares and accessories adorned with national icons such as prawns, chocolate freckles, beer and budgies, as well as an ‘Aussie BBQ’ art print or tea towel, complete with tongs.
For those less shopping-inclined, there are two coffee carts, food trucks, food and beverage stalls and even two bars available onsite.
