The Sunraysia Farmers & Makers Market is turning 20, and we’re inviting the community to join us for a very special celebration on December 6 at Jaycee Park Mildura

We’re proud to announce that Costa Georgiadis, host of ABC’s Gardening Australia, will be our special guest on the morning of the event. Costa is a passionate advocate for sustainability, community, and growing local — values that perfectly align with everything our market stands for.

For the past two decades, the Sunraysia Farmers & Makers Market has operated as a not-for-profit organisation, supporting local growers, producers, and makers — and giving back to the community through donations, events, and partnerships. This milestone is a celebration of all that we’ve built together.
