The Hume Youth Makers Market was held at Craigieburn Festival on Saturday 2 March 2024. 15 young people and 1 youth group from across Hume held stalls showcasing their handmade creations, including jewellery, artwork, crocheted keychains, candles, bread boards, and more.

The Youth Makers Market aimed to support young creative entrepreneurs through the facilitation of workshops, webinars, and one-on-one support in the lead up to the market, and hands-on support from the Youth Services team on the day. Craigieburn Festival was the first opportunity for many to put these new skills into practice through interacting with a diverse customer base and selling their products.
