The Finders Keepers Market is making a return this September in Melbourne CBD.
Finders Keepers is the country’s biggest marketplace, which brings together designers, entrepreneurs and makers. It is held both online and as a large in-person market, and it gives communities the opportunity to gather together to explore and shop.
The Finders Keepers Market is held over three days, including the weekend, and both live musical performances and food will be on offer. While the market takes place, the City of Melbourne will also be celebrating NAIDOC (National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee) Week. To show its support, individuals of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds will not have to pay to attend the market.
The market first started in 2008, and it has grown from being a small-scale event to a nation-wide affair. Each year, Finders Keepers is held twice in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. Across the six events, over 1,200 small businesses are supported, and the markets are attended by visitors numbering in the hundreds and thousands.
Banner printing is an effective way for businesses to distinguish themselves from their competition at large events like this.
The Finders Keepers Market will be held from September 24th to September 26th at the Melbourne Convention Centre, which is located on 1 Convention Centre Place in South Wharf. Booking is not required for the event, and tickets cost $5 per person. On Friday, the market will run from 5pm to 9.30pm, while over the weekend, it will run from 10am to 5pm.
