Etsy Community Market

Overview

Scouring every last corner of Etsy, scrolling through page after page, and stocking up on unique vintage and design items from the comfort of your home is all well and good; however when it comes to finding handcrafted wares, there's still nothing like browsing and buying in person. That's where the global online marketplace's IRL community market comes in. It gathers Australian makers, designers, artists and curators together in the one place, showcases their stellar goods and tempts your wallet.

Taking over Eagle Farm Racecourse from 9am on July 29, the day-long market promises your design dreams come true — aka Etsy come to life. Meet, chat, peruse and purchase, and then head home with all of the arty, crafty goodies your house and wardrobe can handle. Entry costs $2, and there'll be an on-site food precinct including hot beverages galore, live music and craft workshops to teach you the tricks of the creative trade as well.
