Festive flavour fills Geelong

The Christmas spirit will continue to gather along Little Malop Street for the last few Geelong City Markets before the end of the year.

The city will be filled with festive flavour, handmade gifts, summer produce and community vibes during the market’s last three Saturdays of the year.

Director Simon Toohey said the market was entering its most vibrant season, with festive activities and demonstrations held throughout the event.

“The market is truly at its best this time of year,” he said.

“Christmas brings out the heart of Geelong through connection, generosity, great food, and community spirit, and every week offers something new.”

Masterclasses on the Nisbets Kitchen stage will feature Nicole Sanderson from Evolve North coffee roasters at 10.30am and Mr Toohey at 12.30pm on Saturday 6 December.

The Geelong Roller Derby crew will also be gliding through the market this Saturday, adding colour, character and a bit of joyful mayhem to the morning.

Gingerbread Decorating Workshops will be held during the 13 and 20 December markets, along with Summer Cocktail Demonstrations.

The musical program will be extra special during the three markets with roaming performances throughout the morning and live music on the Forte Buskers Stage.

Geelong City Market is held from 9am to 2pm on Saturdays along Little Malop Street with a variety of stallholders and activities available.
