Bunjil Place lights up this Christmas

Twilight Christmas Makers Market and Lighting of the Christmas Tree event will return to Bunjil Place on Saturday 30 November.

Bunjil Place Plaza will transform into an outdoor market, featuring over 70 stalls brimming with goods and foods.

Live music, little elves’ workshops, food trucks, an outdoor bar, and roving performers will also be presented on the day.

Casey’s newly elected mayor and councillors will light up the Bunjil Place Christmas Tree at 8pm.

This year’s tree is presented in collaboration with the City of Casey’s Aboriginal Gathering Place.

Together with the Yarn and Art collective, they have curated beautiful works of art that will be featured in the decoration of the tree, celebrating both the festive season and the rich cultural heritage of the local Indigenous community.

The Bunjil Place Twilight Christmas Makers Market is presented in partnership with The Creative Assembly Co.

Emma Bentley from the Creative Assembly Co. said: “Over 70 stallholders featuring Melbourne’s finest makers and shakers will be selling their wares on Saturday ready to fulfil your Christmas shopping needs from handcrafted pens, to pop culture earrings, fairy gardens, handmade fedoras, treats and accessories for the doggo’s and everything else in between.

“We have you covered on dining options with plenty of savoury and sweet options. From paella, smoked meats, Thai, Polynesian and pizza for the main with waffles, doughnuts, baklava and ice cream for dessert.”

Entry to the Twilight Christmas Market and Lighting of the Tree event is free.
