The Upper Clutha Farmers’ Market has wrapped up its second market and its organiser is now looking ahead to its future.

Hundreds of people attended Sunday’s (March 2) market, where around two dozen mostly local vendors sold everything from fresh fruit and vegetables to meats and cheeses, preserves, flowers and more.

Live music played throughout the event, which took place next to the Luggate Memorial Centre.

Market organiser Amanda Snow said she received “really positive feedback” about the market, which was the second of its kind to take place, with the first one in December 2024.

Roughly two dozen vendors featured at the market last Sunday.

“It’s been really rewarding getting to meet all these different vendors and creating something for the community and seeing people enjoy it so much,” Amanda told the Wānaka App.

The two markets held so far have helped to “test the waters” for something more long-term.

“A seasonal summer-autumn market would be our goal…[but I’m] still working out how regular that might be.”

Amanda said she was “really grateful” to the vendors who had taken a chance on the market without knowing if it would be a success.

She also thanked Graeme Perkins for organising the market’s live music; Luggate Community Association members for contributing their time; the Luggate Hotel for providing furniture; and her family and friends who provided support.
