About this market
Erko Berzerko is the Erskineville Public School P&C's big community fair. It is so big it only happens every second year. The school's playgrounds turn into a classic village fete, with two stages of free entertainment, fairground rides and a market of gifts and treasures. Locals turn out for limited-edition Love Erko merchandise, ErkoMade crafts, plants, fresh flowers, homemade cakes and jams, and upcycled second-hand fashion, toys and books. The food ranges from American BBQ, Mediterranean and Mexican tacos to the classic sausage sizzle, with festival sweets like snow cones, gelato and waffles. The day runs on local goodwill. Neighbourhood businesses donate raffle and silent auction prizes, and every dollar raised supports the school.
