🎉 Kāpiti Market is Back This Weekend! 🎉
First, apologies for going missing from your newsfeed—it’s been ridiculously busy! But I’m back, slightly frazzled and ready to tell you what’s happening at the market. 😅
Before we get into the goodies, we want to wish Steve, one of our fantastic organisers, a very happy birthday! 🥳 We hope your market day is awesome, Steve—and that nobody makes you share your birthday cake!
🎶 Who’s playing music this weekend? Good question! We’re keeping you in suspense… mostly because we’re waiting to see too. 😂
☀️ The weather is meant to be nice, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see—it does like to change its mind during the night while everyone is sleeping! Very sneaky, Kāpiti weather. 😂
Come hungry, because we have enough food to make your waistband nervous:
🍕 Italiano
🥟 Empanadas and dumplings
🥞 Japancakes and crêpes
🥖 La Ficelle
🍩 Donuts
🍄 Mushrooms
🧁 Home baking
🫒 The famous olive oils are back!
🍞 Paleo bread
We’ll also have Eileen with her seedlings—perfect for anyone who promises, “I’ll definitely keep this one alive!” 🌱
Plus, there’ll be bric-a-brac, handmade clothing, soaps, 3D prints, woodturning and Steve with his succulents. They’re possibly the only things at the market better at surviving neglect than our page! 🌵😂
Emily from PC will be doing some fundraising, the NZ Labour Party will also be there, and Dahlia will have delicious fundraising cookies. Remember: calories consumed for a good cause don’t count. 🍪
Out the back, you’ll find our usual veggie trucks and Wati with his fresh eggs—because after all those donuts and cookies, buying vegetables makes everything balanced! 🥦🥕🥚
Come along, grab something delicious, find a bargain and help us wish Steve a happy birthday. We can’t wait to see you at the Kāpiti Market this weekend! ❤️
