Festive fun was had at Dandenong Market’s first Christmas market on Sunday 1 December.

Families got in some gift shopping under the market’s giant seven-metre tree, as well as meeting Santa, carolers and roving elves on stilts.

Other popular activities were creating Christmas cards and crafts, and savouring gingerbread houses and other sweet treats.
