September started with another successful Melbourne Market Week
On a high from the success of the inaugural Melbourne Market Week in 2011, the Markets of Melbourne collective launched the 2012 event with a positive outlook. The members of the collective are South Melbourne Market, Prahran Market, and Queen Victoria Market in West Melbourne, and the event was held during the first week of September.
The combined efforts of the Markets of Melbourne have given market shopping a high profile, resulting in Melbournians flocking to the markets looking for the best fresh produce and rare specialty items at bargain prices. The aim of Melbourne Market Week is to help the public rediscover what is special about shopping at the local market.
Popular Melbourne celebrity chefs made a huge contribution to Market Week at Queen Victoria Market. Tobie Puttock and Riccardo Momesso held free demonstrations of their cooking skills, while Ian Curley gave tips on finding the best produce at the markets.
Prahran Markets conducted free gourmet market tours where participants could meet the traders and learn some of the secrets of market life. Radio 3AW was at Prahran Markets on Saturday, September 8, giving away vouchers and giving fans an opportunity to meet station personalities.
Events such as Melbourne Market Week give festival organisers and stall holders a chance to use poster printing and innovative media ideas to publicise the occasion. Markets combine such a variety of goods from many cultures, that it is usually a simple matter to present their activities in exciting ways using print media.
The finale of Melbourne Market Week was the World Street Food Festival, held at Queen Victoria Market, showcasing a wide range of foods from South America, Australia, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
