Hobsons Bay City Council and western region councils are supporting the event, run at The Substation on 29 May.
Mayor Bill Tehan said it was a rare opportunity to buy uniquely made Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander gifts directly from the artist.
There would also be traditional foods and indigenous musicians performing.
Eva-Jo Edwards from the Koorie Night Market said stalls would include gourmet food, traditional artefacts, homewares, paintings and a huge variety of arts, crafts and clothing.
“We’ll have a didgeridoo workshop for the fellas, traditional basket weaving for the ladies and for the kids, there’ll be a Koorie dance workshop and cultural craft activities,” she said.
Market-goers will be treated to the soulful sounds of Liz Cavanagh’s Jazz Quartet and acoustic performances by rising stars Illana Atkinson and young Gunditjmara man, Jayden Lillyist.
The market will be held from 5-8.30pm at The Substation, 1 Market St, Newport.
