Check out magnificent stalls on the 1st Saturday of month
I love going to markets, and when the opportunity came up to write about the Lakemba Community Markets I couldn't wait to click on it.
Over the years I have been to numerous markets throughout Australia and overseas and every market that I have been to there has always been something that catches my eye. Whether it is something from a second hand stall, a gift for someone, a certain display or activity and who could go past those magnificent food stalls!
The Lakemba Community Markets is held on the1st Saturday of every month at the Jubilee Reserve on the Cnr of Railway Pde and Bellevue Ave at Lakemba from 10am to 4pm and the cost is free to visit.
So what makes the Lakemba Community Markets stand out from the rest?
As with all markets they would not be possible without the support of the local community centre and locals. Every month this close-knit community will get together and have over 30 stalls of beautiful items from every corner of the globe.
There is something for everyone including;
• The latest fashion
• Accessories
• Henna design
• Jewellery
• Live entertainment
• Cakes and biscuits
• Gifts
• Delicious food from around the world
• Second hand items
• A great atmosphere
• Activites for the kids
Over the years the Canterbury City Community Centres has received small grants to be able to provide a variety of amazing entertainment at each of the community markets and each month they strive to bring you something different.
Activities like:
• The Suara Indonesian Children's Dance Group
• The Taronga Zoo Mobile
• African Drumming
Established by Canterbury City Community Centre the markets aim to showcase Lakemba's vibrancy and diversity and it provides an opportunity for local people to start a business and earn extra income, the markets also provide a space for the community to come together and showcase Lakemba's cultural diversity.
The profits from stallholder fees go back to the Community Centre to assist run programs and activities.
The cost to be a stallholder each month is not that high and your fees include table and marquee:
• Second Hand - $25
