Market Stall Bookings

Apply for a market stall at the festival, including food, produce, handmade goods, community stalls and festival-related traders.

Market Stalls

Market stall bookings are now live! We are using Ozee Markets to handle stall bookings and payment this year. Please use the button below to go straight to the booking page or search for the Festival on www.ozeemarkets.com.au. when opened. Please note that when you log on to the website the market stall sites in the bottom left of the plan have been set aside as dedicated sites for food stalls. These sites are located near the existing food tables in the park and we are working with Council to provide some extra tables and chairs if required. Also please note that due to the very limited availability of power points in the park it is proposed that all sites will be unpowered sites this year. Please let us know if this is a major problem so we can measure the impact of this decision. Any questions please email goulburnlilacmarkets@gmail.com (preferred) or ring us on 0448 211 839.
