Saturday markets in Melbourne, Saturday 24 October
29 markets trading in Melbourne on Saturday 24 October.
7 of the 29 are farmers markets and 1 is a night market. The earliest start is 6am at Queen's Food Hall in Melbourne. 5 of them run monthly and will not be back next week.
Saturday in Melbourne is built on two weekly farmers markets and a rotation of monthly ones. Carlton Farmers Market and Coburg Farmers' Market run every Saturday from 8am to 1pm. The other farmers markets take a turn.
Whose Saturday is it
The first Saturday of the month is Veg Out St Kilda, Kingston and Maribyrnong. The second is the market at Abbotsford Convent and Berwick. The third is Gasworks in Albert Park, Brighton, Yarraville and Dingley Village. The fourth is Slow Food Melbourne in Spotswood, Bayside and Bentleigh. Elwood takes both the second and the fourth.
That rotation is why the list below changes every week. For something that is always there, St Andrews Community Market trades every Saturday from 9am to 2pm.
