There’ll be more than 45 stalls for fashion, art prints, gourmet food, jewellery and more. . . Family-friendly activities like screen printing, badge making, dance and storytelling sessions, and a community choir workshop. . . The collaborative art project People Of Merri-bek facilitated by Ollie Rae. . . The First Nations Program. . . And 27 delicious food trucks on offer.
But that’s not all – attendees will be able to experience tunes across two live music stages, and get the chance to soak up the sounds of the likes of the high-energy Propane Trio, indie-pop solo act MAGNETS, and the genre-blending Bad Bangs.
