Over 3000 people packed Riverside Park on Thursday for the inaugural Swan Hill Christmas Twilight Market.
Visitors busily bought last minute Christmas presents from over 60 stalls which featured fine arts, handmade gifts and fresh produce.
Swan Hill Farmers Market secretary Jessie Kiley said the market was “really well received by both stall holders and patrons alike”.
“From a community perspective it was really great to have people volunteering their time for the event,” Ms Kiley said.
“It was also great to see the community come together and enjoy this wonderful time of year.”
People were treated to music by Rianne Graham and Santa even stopped by to hand out presents to the children.
“The market was definitely a success. I can’t see any reason why we wouldn’t run it again next year,” Ms Kiley said.
“I just want to thank the community for supporting the event.”
The next Farmers Market will be held at Riverside Park on Sunday, February 5, 2017.
