Koorie Krismas

Overview

Thanks to the Koorie Heritage Trust, Federation Square will transform into a bustling hub of music, market stalls and live performances from 10am–3pm on Saturday, December 14. And it's all free.

On the performance front, expect Djirri Djirri and Ngargee dancers, music from the Pirritu Duo, and poetry and storytelling by Barry Gilson. You'll also expect DJ sets from ENOKiCurry, Randals Dad, DJ PGZ and Cerulean.

And, of course, the market. The Koorie Krismas market is a blessing if you're after a gift for those hard-to-buy-for people in your life, with its abundance of stalls championing crafts, art, and design from the Victorian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Have a look around and enjoy the talent on show — you're bound to spot something magical to bring home.

And if you're feeling crafty, you can try your hand at wreath-making, designing your own Christmas card or getting around some badge-making.
