Community Market
The Violet Town market is reputedly one of the best markets in North East Victoria
The Violet Town markets commenced in 1978 with a few stalls in the Lions Park outside the [then] Shire of Violet Town Council offices. It moved to its current site in the 1980s.
The market is organised by a sub committee of the Violet Town Action Group Inc., a non-profit community organisation, with all funds raised by the market used for the publication and distribution of the Village Voice community newsletter and for other community facilities and activities.
The Violet Town market is reputedly one of the best markets in North East Victoria and attracts up to 200 stalls and patrons of up to 4,000 each month.
Philosophy: since its inception the market has had a 'make, bake or grow it' policy that aims to support those stall holders who make all or the majority of what they sell. Limited sites are available however for manufactured and second hand goods and products.
The market, held on the second Saturday of every month from 8:30 am - 1 pm, promotes and supports tourism and the social and economic fabric of the community.
