Akoonah Park Christmas market

Food and Christmas products will be available at the Akoonah Park market on Wednesday 22 December.

A Christmas market is returning to Berwick’s Akoonah Park this year.

Visitors can stock up on fresh fruit and vegetables for Christmas meals, buy last minute presents, or catch up with friends and family.

There will be an array of locally made Christmas craft stalls including decorations, gifts and cards.

Those who get hungry after shopping won’t have to travel far for a bite to eat, with takeaway food and coffee stalls available at the park.

The market will be held from 11am to 7pm on Wednesday 22 December at 2 Cardinia St, Berwick.

Akoonah Park Manager Gayle Joyce encouraged local residents to take advantage of this last-minute opportunity to buy food and products before Christmas Day.

“Following the very difficult year we have all experienced with the various Covid-19 lockdowns, the Akoonah Park committee is keen to provide last minute Christmas shoppers an opportunity by introducing this Wednesday special Christmas market,“ she said.

“Shop with your local market stallholders and avoid the hustle and bustle of the major shopping centres.

“Wishing shoppers and our stallholders a Merry Christmas.“

No market will run on Sunday 26 December.
