Market to be held for veterans on the Sunshine Coast

The market will run from 7am to noon on Saturday 15 October 2022 to celebrate the Department of Veterans’ Affairs Veterans’ Health Week (DVA VHW).  All are welcome to attend the market at Yandina, which will feature over 40 stalls, including arts and crafts, food vans, clothing, jewellery, massage/reiki, animal rescue, demonstrations, competitions and even something for your pets.

RSL Queensland will host a stall, along with other ex-service organisations, community groups and veterans, showcasing the range of resources, skills, talents, and services available across the Sunshine Coast. Market highlights will include a focus on this year’s Veterans’ Health Week theme “Eat Well” and a “from garden to plate” presentation by veteran, blogger and YouTuber, Mark Valencia from @SelfSufficientMe. There will also be music from @Boiandeskae and Guitars for Vets Australia. Veteran and local State Member for Nicklin, Rob Skelton, will open and speak at the event in a show of support for the local veteran community.

The market will be located adjacent to the regular Yandina Markets at 24 North Street Yandina. Veterans’ Health Week (1 - 9 October 2022) will see RSL Sub Branches across Queensland host more than 50 events for veterans and their families throughout the month of October. Many of these events are funded by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.
