May’d returns to CBD

Central Geelong will be buzzing with live musicians, roving performers, locally made wares and interactive workshops for two days later this month.

May’d Festival is a bustling makers marketand is an exciting opportunity to discover unique wares while supporting passionate makers, creatives, emerging and professional artists and students of art and design.

Twenty-five stallholders will showcase their products at Little Malop Street between Moorabool Street and Banks Place and the Centrepoint Arcade from 5pm to 8.30pm Friday 26 May and 10am to 3pm Saturday 27 May. Shoppers will be entertained by 20 performers over the two days.

Brownbill Councillor Melissa Cadwell said May’d Festival will once again add vibrancy to the heart of our region.

“I can’t wait to see Little Malop and Centrepoint Arcade light up with a colourful showcase of high-quality locally made wares, live performances and workshops,” Cr Cadwell said.

“May’d Festival is delivered in partnership with Creative Geelong Inc and Council was thrilled to offer its support through a Community Events Grant.”

The annual event encourages a design culture and works towards the community’s Clever and Creative goals, reinforcing Geelong’s status as a UNESCO Creative City of Design.

Entry is free and all items are for sale.

This year’s stallholders were selected through an open Expressions of Interest process.
