Operating from 5pm to 9pm on the fourth Saturday of each month until April next year, the market transforms John Pilley Reserve, adjacent to the Kyabram Fauna Park, into a vibrant evening marketplace.
Kyabram Community Learning Centre chief executive officer Jen Savage said the event realised a long-awaited community aspiration.
“For many years, Kyabram has been looking to have its own market,” she said.
“We are making the most of the warm weather, having the market in the evening is a bit of a point of difference for us, both in location and in what we will be able to bring to the community.
The evening buzzed with activity as stallholders set up beneath the council-provided fairy lights, creating an enchanting atmosphere.
“We are focusing on vibrant local businesses, home businesses, community and wanting to give them an avenue to show off their amazing things,” Jen said.
Each monthly gathering will feature food vendors, diverse stalls, and dedicated space for local charitable organisations.
“At each market, we will have at least one stall, which is from a not-for-profit in town, and they will be offered a free stall to be able to come and fundraise,” Jen said.
The organisation continues to welcome new stallholders, with more than 80 already secured for the upcoming market.
Future markets will hopefully also have a live music component.
The Moonlight Market is on the fourth Saturday of the month from September to April at the John Pilley Reserve, 16 Fauna Park Dve, Kyabram running from 5pm to 9pm.
