Mayor, Councillor Shane Sali, encouraged community members to attend the market and shop local.

“The Winter City Market presents a fantastic opportunity to activate the local economy and enjoy our public spaces such as the Maude Street precinct, it’s wonderful seeing the community coming together and exploring what the CBD has to offer,” he said.

“I encourage both residents and visitors to mark their calendars, support local businesses and stallholders, enjoy the family-friendly entertainment, and have a good time here in Shepparton.”

Council’s Place Manager, Bonnie McIntosh, said creating opportunities for local businesses is a priority.

“Seasonal markets are a community favourite, and a fantastic way to boost local trade and activate the economy, while connecting people with vendors,” she said.

“We’re really looking forward to hosting the Youth Talent Show this year and showing support to young community members showcasing their talents. I am sure visitors and residents will have a wonderful time exploring the special offers and enjoying a day out with family and friends.”
