The quarter has rolled around, and the Proserpine Community Markets are on!
Supporting the Proserpine Cricket Club, the Proserpine Community Markets are one of the best markets for handmade, handcrafted, and hand grown goods, with over 60 stalls on offer throughout the old St Catherine’s Campus.
What started out as just a one-off market following COVID, snowballed into the quarterly thoroughfare it is now, with market goers coming from far and wide to browse the goods.
“It was only ever going to be just one market, because everyone was keen to get out and put themselves out there after COVID,” explains market coordinator, Tarnia Patton.
“Everyone is strapped for cash, and they haven’t been able to go to a market in years, so we ran one. We literally pulled it together in two and a half weeks.”
Now a few years on, the markets have grown to accommodate a large variety of goods, each operated by a community minded local.
“We make it a big event once a quarter. When people know it’s coming up, they try to come, because if they miss it, they’ve got to wait another three months!” said Tarnia.
With something for everyone, including free kids’ activities, the markets are a great destination for a Sunday morning.
