Nagambie lakeside Market

People go to markets for many reasons: some just like to browse through a variety of stalls fossiking for something special: exquisite craft work, a handsome piece of wood ware, a delicate beaded necklet, maybe a quirky collectable.
Others are hell bent on getting to their favourite stall before all the goodies are sold out. They rush to home-made cake lady, the free-range egg stall, the fruit and veggie man and the flower stall are all high priorities. There’s a great coffee stall and the Scouts’ tasty sausage sizzle means you don’t even have to have breakfast before you come. You’ll love the friendly country vibe and the range of stalls is fantastic.

The NOW Market, at Blayney lane is inland Victoria’s only absolute waterfront market - it’s a total shopping experience right beside stunning Lake Nagambie, and right in the thick of the action for the NOW festivities.
Many people just enjoy the ambience, meandering and mingling, savouring some freshly cooked food, chatting with friends, while enjoying a coffee or cool drink and enjoying the spectacular water events like the Park to Pub Open Water Swim or the Walk on Water competition.
