Festive fun at Swan Hill Christmas market

MARK your calendars for this Sunday and join the fun at Riverside Park from 9am to 3pm for a magical Christmas market.

This festive event promises fun, food and Christmas cheer for the whole family.

There will be a host of delicious food and drink items, including a barbecue cooked by the Swan Hill Lions Club, sweet and savory treats from Carol’s Donuts, Mallee Hot Bites, Elaine’s Dumplings, and Frosty Monkeys.

For a caffeine fix, there will be two coffee vans – The Bean Hopper and Coffee and Cookies – to keep the lines short and everyone happy.

Santa and Mrs Claus will stop by for a photo opportunity between 10am and 1pm, and will be in the Christmas-themed rotunda.

This year, organisers were thrilled to bring the nostalgic charm of the classic Christmas windows and there will be live music by local musician Shaun Kirk, performing in the sound shell.

For those eager to get a message to Santa, there will be a mailbox available for posting letters directly to the North Pole.

Along with all the food and entertainment, there will be many creative stalls brimming with unique Christmas gift ideas, giving shoppers a chance to find something special for everyone on their list.
