Markets on today in Melbourne, Sunday 18 October

39 markets trading in Melbourne on Sunday 18 October.

9 of the 39 are farmers markets and 1 is a night market. The earliest start is 6am at Coburg Market in Coburg. 8 of them run monthly and will not be back next week.

Melbourne is the one Australian city where a market is open most days, because of its permanent halls. Queen Victoria Market and Prahran Market both close on Mondays and Wednesdays. Coburg Market and Springvale Market Square open all seven days, and Footscray Market trades Tuesday to Saturday.

Monday is the thin day

Most of the halls are shut on a Monday, so the list is at its shortest then. One market exists for the day: the Whittlesea Monday Market runs on Mondays and no other day. If this page is short, it is probably a Monday and not a gap in the directory.

Do not expect farmers markets here midweek. In Melbourne they are a Saturday and Sunday thing, and most of them run once a month.

Not on again next week

These run monthly, so this date is the one chance for a while. The date after each name is when it next trades.

Being picked in Victoria through October. Growers set their stalls by the season, so this is a fair guide to what will be on the tables, with asian greens, asparagus and leek among the crops at their best now.
