It’s the chance to select gifts for the festive season and at the same time support local businesses as well as producers and artisans.
What started with a small stall last year will see Pomona abuzz with excitement next month for the inaugural Pomona Christmas Market and Late Night Trading Street Fair.
Kay Kelloway of Pomona’s Little Pantry is one of the organisers, after holding a small themed event at her shop last year.
“With other businesses, we got our heads together and decided what we needed,’’ Kay said.
“We’re hoping to make it bigger next year too.’’
Local producers and artisans will be invited to present hand-made items to create a Christmas market feel.
There will be music at both ends of the street, face painting and activities for children.
Slow Food Noosa chef Matt Golinski will be providing cooking demonstrations, and there will be tastings from local producers.
The Lions club will be holding a sausage sizzle and Santa arrives at 6.30pm.
Businesses will be decked out in the Australian bush theme as part of a competition to find matching native birds or animals.
The market and fair will take place on Friday, December 1, from 4.30-8pm at Station Street and Reserve Street, Pomona.
Pomona and district stall holders or artisans who would like to get involved in the Christmas market or late night trading experience should contact Kim Maddison on 0488 551 723 or burrawingeek@gmail.com by 24 November 2023.
