New Zealand Red Cross Weave Twilight Market 2017
Come along to our annual Weave Twilight Market in Hamilton!
Cross the world in a few hours by tasting delicious food from many different countries - including Afghanistan, Colombia, Brazil, Thailand, Congo, Mexico, Pakistan, India and many more. Get involved in crafts or treat yourself with something new; bring a rug or fold-out chair and enjoy the cultural performances.
The Weave Twilight Market gives an opportunity for former refugee communities now living in Hamilton to share part of their culture with Hamiltonians, while getting an insight into starting their own business. It also celebrates all other ethnic food and crafts from the many cultures presents in Aotearoa.
The sixth edition of New Zealand Red Cross' Weave Twilight Market will take place on Friday 15 December 2017 from 4.00-8.30pm. Join us at the Settlement Centre Waikato on Boundary Road in Hamilton.
See you there!
