The markets which run from 8.30am to 4pm are held twice a year at Millthorpe's Redmond Oval to raise money for the school to purchase educational resources for the students.
Entry to the markets is by gold coin donation.
The markets have been called 'the best in the region' by both stallholders and market-goers alike with people coming from far and wide to enjoy the excitement and unique atmosphere created in the quaint village.
Markets coordinator Johannah Francis said that with more than 300 stalls booked it will be the biggest Millthorpe Markets ever.
Ms Francis said stalls will include homewares, gardening, fashion, toys, woodwork, jewellery, craft and fresh produce.
"We'll have coffee vendors and a wide variety of food stalls to cater for every taste," she said.
"The school will run a barbecue, cake stall and drinks stall with all of the teachers, support staff, parents and students helping out on the day.
"We definitely haven't forgotten the children, we are organising a jumping castle, pony rides, face painting and other fun activities."
The markets are the main fundraiser for the school which in previous years has funded smart boards, playground equipment, computers, band scholarships and costs associated with representative sports.
The markets are located close to the village centre so market-goers can enjoy all Millthorpe has to offer with its beautiful historic buildings, restaurants and boutique stores.
Designated parking will be available on the day within walking distance of Redmond Oval.
