A little more info about 'Pop Up Markets':

'Pop Up Markets' believe that empty development sites, car parks, roof tops and laneways are a waste of space!
It’s their passion to bring them to life with markets, events and exhibitions that support local artists, designers and makers of cool stuff.

This summer, a new market will pop up each weekend in a different location around inner Melbourne, with stallholders hand picked to offer the best home-grown, handmade and home-baked products on offer.
There won’t be a doily in sight – unless it’s been refashioned into something fresh and hip! If it’s unique, stylish and hand-crafted by someone looking to break into the local scene, it’ll be there.
Each market will only be around for one day.
