Shepparton is set to welcome the return of one of the city’s favourite events, the Winter City Market, offering two big days of winter savings across the city, including entertainment and fun to warm the hearts of the entire family on Friday 28 and Saturday 29 August.
In what has become a family tradition, the Winter City Market offers a host of kids rides and attractions, which are all free for families to enjoy. Shepparton’s CBD will come to life in a ‘Winter Wonderland’ of live performances and entertainment including jumping castle, snow play area, kids workshops, roving entertainment, face painting, balloon creations, an undercover petting zoo and much more.
The Winter City Market will have fashion, home-wares and jewellery all on sale throughout the event and over 50 unique market stalls. People Supporting People will return for this year’s market event with their food marquee.
This year’s Winter City Market also coincides with Daffodil Day, so by simply buying a Daffodil, you will be supporting cancer research and adding Daffodil colour and beauty to your day.
The Winter City Market further confirms the city as the region’s ‘Shopping Capital’ and this year’s event is proudly coordinated by the Investment Attraction Department at Greater Shepparton City Council and sponsored by Shepparton Show Me.
Plus, shop in Shepparton on Friday and you could win a $2,000 Shopping Spree, for details check the Shepparton Show Me Facebook page!
