CFdB at The FITZROY MARKETS

FUNDRAISING for BATIZADO CONTINUES – THIS SATURDAY!!!!

CFdB have a Car-Boot Stall – selling 2nd Hand Goods & Donated goods & services – you may even get a $10 for 10 mins massage & more!.. maybe a Capoeira Roda too!

The Fitzroy Market is not driven by a profit motive or trend status, but by the will to create a fun, welcoming atmosphere for all comers, and providing a chance for all members of our richly diverse community to contribute to and gain from the space.

The market (at Fitzroy Primary School) consists of 15 car boot stalls, 27 standard stalls, 4 food stalls, a kids craft area, and space for musicians and performers.

The market runs between 10am and 2pm!

The Fitzroy Market launched in February 2010. The team was determined to establish a space for Fitzroy’s residents and visitors to meet communally and seek, swap or sell their wares, they began by building relationships with community groups. Fitzroy Market has raised awareness, and funds, for programs helping those in need. This passion for social justice has forged bonds with community partners, helping fund important projects to maintain and strengthen the neighbourhood’s support network.
