Melbourne’s iconic Royal Exhibition Building will come alive on 5-6 April as the Makers and Shakers Market returns with its biggest event yet. Featuring more than 175 all-Australian-made stalls, this vibrant market is a celebration of local craftsmanship, sustainable fashion, and delicious food, offering something for the whole family.
From homewares and fashion to gourmet treats, the market showcases the best of Australian creativity. Foodies can indulge in Rocco’s Bologna Discoteca’s hot Italian sandwiches, Sebby’s Scrolls, Gigi’s Gelato, Greek Street Food, and Melbourne’s OG Taco Truck.
Meanwhile, standout stalls like Made590, Hot Shop Australia, RCK Candles, and Melbourne Cocoa will offer everything from inclusive fashion to award-winning hot sauces and indulgent Easter treats.
Kids can enjoy free and low-cost activities in the Mini Makers and Shakers Market play space, while adults can join creative workshops like watercolour painting, junk journaling, and jewellery making. A live mural painting by Hey! Nice Murals on Saturday will add an extra splash of creativity to the weekend.
As an official partner of Australian Made, the market guarantees every product is designed and made in Australia, supporting local artisans and manufacturers. With DJs spinning vinyl and a lively atmosphere, it’s a must-visit event for anyone who loves quality, creativity, and community.
