The special twilight market will be held from 5pm until 9pm. Sunday’s market will run as usual. Bendigo Showgrounds secretary Rod Bowles said the extra market would be useful for shoppers who were not able to get to the Sunday market.
“It provides the opportunity for people to do some pre-Christmas shopping on the evening of Saturday,” he said.
“It also gives people who may have commitments on Sunday the flexibility to attend the market.”
Mr Bowles said there will be a wider range of sites on Saturday as some stalls from the Murrabit Market will set up shop at Bendigo for the evening.
Some of the markets will stay overnight and open on Sunday as well. ?
