The ultimate guide to Melbourne's best markets

Roaring fire pits, winter comfort food, roving performers and free entertainment. Enjoy all this and more when the Winter Night Market returns in June for an epic 14-week season.

Visit one of Melbourne's cutest neighbourhoods for another weekend market. Fuel up with a coffee then peruse unique goodies from local makers, artisan treats, homewares and kids accessories. Then it's only a short stroll to The Premises for a cheeky brunch date.

Find the city's best locally made buys at the limited run 'Craft* Wrk' pop-up market. Curated by the team behind the Rose St. Artists’ Market, you'll be able to find indie designers, local makers, creative artists and more under the iconic Queen Vic Market sheds. Better yet, entry is free!

Wander rows of treats and treasures at this beloved Southbank spot. Boasting a mammoth 24 stalls, this is a Melbourne institution on the edge of the CBD. From silk scarves to gourmet goodies, everything is handmade by local artisans.

Stock up on top reads at Queen Victoria Market on weekends year-round. Choose from thousands of new and pre-loved reads, selected by some of Melbourne’s most experienced booksellers, authors and illustrators.

Alternating with the twilight market, this gem is on every second Sunday of the month. Watch boats bob on the tranquil water as you shop for gifts, artisan bread, delicious treats and barista made coffee.
