Harmony Market

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 vulnerable people with a platform and space to sell their goods while also teaching them business skills.

To mark its fourth birthday and bring the great businesses it supports together, the team is taking over Petersham Bowling Club on Saturday, March 16 with a heap of market stalls.

Aunty's Ginger Tonic will be in attendance with homemade drinks based on centuries-old African recipes, Afghani artist Nazdana Bakhtiari will be showcasing her art, and Just Shea will have a stall where you can find natural skincare built on African ingredients. There will also be floral arrangements from Camifleur and sustainable fashion from Gina Barjeel and Shaajh — House of Fashion.

If all of this shopping gets you peckish, Sangee's Kitchen and African Food Feasts will be popping up on the day with street food stalls.

Get down from 12–5pm to support these local businesses and enjoy some top-notch street eats at Harmony Market. A good time for a good cause. And entry is free!
