The Blak Markets is a great chance to buy art and products directly from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who made them in the knowledge that the profit goes back to Indigenous communities.
The Blak Markets event will feature Aboriginal arts, craft, performances and foods from local stallholders.
The day will begin with a welcome to country followed by live music, dance performances, and workshops.
