MiLi Markets started in July 2014 as "Ladies Night Market" and was born to create a way of promoting our small businesses over the quieter winter months.  The first ever market was on July 25 in Currambine and from the very beginning - the passion for running markets was set.

The first event was so successful that the stall holders and visitors were constantly asking us "when will the next event be?".  With a focus still on providing an avenue for us to promote our businesses whilst feeding the demand from other like-minded business owners, we organised and ran another 5 events in 2014 with even more success.

The stallholders were happy, the visitors loved the events and it dawned on us that we had created a new business.

In 2015 we decided to run daytime markets for the entire family as well as continue the successful Ladies Night formula. Ladies Night Markets became MiLi Markets & Events to better reflect the new direction and so our brand started to evolve.

Organisations are now approaching MiLi Markets to assist with the market and stall aspect of their events. In 2015 MiLi Markets were asked to operate a market in conjunction with ECU Joondalup's Open Day, and run ECU Joondalup's Lunchtime Markets too.

In 2016 MiLi Markets ran the market stalls at all ECU Open Days: Joondalup, Mount Lawley and Bunbury, and a Spring Fair market at Old Coast Road Brewery in Myalup. MiLi Markets was also approached by Edwards Wines in Margaret River to run a market on their premises in Spring 2016, as part of Gourmet Escape.

In 2017 MiLi launched MiLi's Made-It Markets at Whiteman Park, which was a new branch of MiLi Markets, showcasing only the best handmade products WA has to offer. In 2018 WOOF at Whiteman was added to the Whiteman Park markets, attracting thousands of pooches and happy owners over the past 4 years.

We ran our Ladies Night Markets for many years at Joondalup Resort and these became a flagship event for us, however with Joondalup Resort unable to accommodate us anymore, in 2022 we switched to the Wanneroo Pavilion and our Xmas Ladies' night was a huge success and will be a permanent addition to our market rota.

MiLi Markets & Events has a large stallholder following due to our commitment to promoting each market heavily to get the shoppers through, solving any problems quickly on market day and being available for advice at any time.

We LOVE what we do and we LOVE helping small business owners present their products and services.  It's great to be passionate about business and going to work every day but still to be able to spend the time we need to with our family.  We are both mums and MiLi Markets certainly keeps us on our toes, in a good way. We hope to see you at a market soon!
