The Village Markets 15th Birthday Festival

Fashion, art, homewares and handcrafted goods as far as the eye can see — that's The Village Markets. A Gold Coast favourite ever since setting up shop over a decade ago, this regular browsing and buying mecca combines a specially curated stall lineup with food, drinks, live local music and creative workshops, plus a super relaxed vibe.

In fact, TVM hasn't just spent ten years slinging wares. On Sunday, October 1, this market is celebrating its 15th birthday. How? With a birthday festival that's worth driving down the highway to Burleigh Heads for from 8.30am–1pm.

Given how the year is creeping by, the event will be perfect for anyone looking for a gift — for others, and for themselves — as Christmas approaches. TVM usually boasts everything from colourful dresses to luxe jewellery and accessories for your pupper across its stalls, plus its famed pre-loved designer and vintage rack sales.

Seeing that this is a birthday, there'll be even more sellers than usual, including success stories from over the years. And, expect bites to eat, live tunes, workshops and special offers, too.
