We’re encouraging everyone to wear pink, and our stallholders are invited to decorate their stalls in pink and help us create a sea of pink throughout the market.

⚠️ MARKET CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER ⚠️

As much as we hate to do this, unfortunately, we have made the difficult decision to cancel today’s Ballan Lions Community Market due to the weather. 🌧️

If you were still planning to head out today, there is still a great event happening at Ballan Neighbourhood House , with a market and family fun day in support of Pink Up Your Town – Ballan. 💗

We will be carrying our fundraising efforts over to our November Market on Saturday, 7 November, so you’ll still have a chance to support this wonderful cause!

Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to see everyone in November. 💗🦁

Stay safe and dry, everyone! ☔️
