Harmony Market
Section 8 is hosting a one-off pop-up market supporting businesses run by refugees and asylum seekers.
Overview
The Sydney-born social enterprise Welcome Merchant has been supporting small businesses run by refugees and asylum seekers in Australia for four years now. The wonderful organisation has provided people in need with a platform and space to sell their goods while also teaching them a heap of business skills.
To mark its fourth birthday and showcase the great talent worth discovering, the team is taking over Melbourne CBD's Section 8 on Saturday, March 23 with a heap of market stalls.
Aheda's Kitchen will be pumping out Palestinian eats, and Sweet Cora will sell its huge range of Filipino sweet treats in the beer garden throughout the afternoon.
Handmade ceramics from Liew Ceramics, African fashion and accessories from Akos Creative, skincare from Akira Grateful, gin and wine from Bandesh Wine & Spirits and stacks of other wares will be up for grabs as well. The Harmony Market brings together entrepreneurs from a diverse range of cultures, who'll be selling all kinds of unique goods. Who knows, you might just find your next go-to beauty brand or local artist on Tattersalls Lane.
Get down from 12–5pm to support these local businesses, grab some drinks from Section 8's bar and groove to some live tunes. A good time for a good cause.
