Spring is in the air at Warralily Market

A VIBRANT celebration of spring, community and local talent is on its way to Warralily next weekend.

The much-loved Warralily Market, hosted by Picadilly Market, is set to return to Mirambeena Park on September 6.

The event promises a relaxed day of shopping and outdoor entertainment ahead of Father’s Day.

Visitors can explore an exciting line-up of more than 40 local makers, designers and artisans showcasing stalls from handmade fashion and jewellery, to art, homewares and gourmet delights.

Local distilleries will be on hand with speciality offerings, while food lovers can explore bold flavours from Coast and Smoke, The Chilli Crew and Flavourista.

For book lovers, local author Geoff Davis will be sharing his crime stories – making the market a one-stop shop destination for Father’s Day gifting.

A certain highlight of the day will be live performances from Geelong’s own Etta Lane.

Known for her expressive tone, moving lyrics and genre blending style, Lane has built a reputation for captivating audiences with her heartfelt storytelling.

Picadilly Market founder Janina Lear said the event has become a cornerstone of Armstrong Creek’s community calendar.

“The Warralily Market is about more than shopping — it’s about connection.

“Each market brings people together to support local businesses, enjoy great food and music, and celebrate our community in a natural, family-friendly setting.

“With spring in the air, it’s the perfect time to gather outdoors and we’re especially excited to welcome Etta Lane to the stage.”

The market will run from 10am to 3pm. Entry is free.
