The market celebrates local small businesses, makers, creators and community groups, with visitors able to browse handmade goods, local products and food from trucks and vendors.
Kyabram Community and Learning Centre Inc. market co-ordinator Lycia Coward said the event filled a gap in the community.
“The Kyabram Moonlit Market started because, at the time, Kyabram didn't have a community market,” she said.
“It is important to have a regular ongoing local event that people can rely on, that is low cost.
“Everyone can get together, see local businesses and come for dinner with all the food trucks and things like that.”
Ms Coward, who is in her first season coordinating the market, said the September opener drew strong interest.
“Our first one for the season was in September, and we had 33 or 34 stalls and are looking to have roughly the same amount for the October market, but it is growing every day,” she said.
“I am getting more inquiries, so hopefully as the weather picks up and daylight saving has kicked in, we will end up with quite a few more stalls.”
The November 28 market will carry a special focus on the farming community.
“The November market will focus on farmers and their families' wellbeing, as doing it tough doesn't only affect the farmer; it's their whole crew,” Ms Coward said.
“We will look at having a speaker and hopefully getting some local entertainment.”
The December 19 market is shaping up as a family highlight.
“For Christmas, hopefully it will be a good one too,” Ms Coward said.
“We are going to try and get Santa in and have a few more activities for kids and things like that as well.”
Local performers are encouraged to get involved.
“If there are artists out there who would like to perform at the Moonlit Market, they can reach out via moonlitmarketkyabram@kclc.com.au or the Facebook page,” Ms Coward said.
“We would really like to focus on local businesses, local people, and your everyday makers and creators.”
