Stay in touch via Facebook, and lookout for our list of stallholders posted in the week prior to the market. If you think your village, suburb, or town needs our posters send me an email. Stick one on your car. New stalls always welcome. See you on the 5th!

Members of Lismore local band,  The Button Collective will be joining us for the final Makers Market for 2013, this Saturday December 21 from 10-2.  The Button Collective are self-described as a ruckus of folk gypsy sounds, with a hint of bluegrass and probably more than a tinge of the Northern Rivers. They have been running a pozible campaign to raise funds for their upcoming CD.  If you haven't heard them yet, it might be time to discover your new favourite band, and order their upcoming CD...  Come down to the market with your shopping list, and time to spare to relax under the tree, soak up the Button Collective vibe and eat the great Italian-style vego food that will be available at the market.

On the festive front, the Lismore Makers Market is the best place in town to buy local, sustainably produced wares for your loved ones.   This market will feature a great range of makers, and include men's and women's clothing, skincare products, artwork and prints, letterpress stationary, functional and decorative ceramics, kids toys and gift ware, funky aprons, jewelry and more.  Check our facebook page for more details on individual makers.

If you're interested to find out more about the markets, or join us as a makers please check out our facebook page and send us an email.
