The Carrum Downs Market
A monthly Sunday market at Rotary Park with around a hundred stalls, food trucks and live music, started in April 2026.
Also known as Carrum Downs Market.
About this market
Rotary Park fills once a month with something close to a hundred stalls, and for a market that only started in April 2026 that is a fast start. Local makers and handmade goods lead, fresh produce and the genuinely unlikely fill in behind, and the food trucks and live music turn it from an errand into a Sunday.
New, and already at scale
Ninety to a hundred stalls is not a soft launch. The mix is makers and handmade crafts first, with produce and general market stalls alongside, and enough food and entertainment that people stay rather than walk the line once and leave. Five hours is a generous window for a monthly market and it uses them.
Market at a glance
The organisers have leaned into themed dates rather than running the same market twelve times, with a Mother's Day edition, a King's Birthday long weekend one and a Christmas in July. It is the sort of thing a new market does to build a habit, and it seems to be working.
This is the one thing to get right. The market is monthly and always on a Sunday, but it is not a fixed week: through 2026 it has run on the first Sunday in some months and the second in others, and August had two. Look up the next date on the organisers' page rather than assuming a pattern.
Good to know before you go
Because the date moves, this is a market to check before you drive rather than turn up to on spec. Once you have the date, 9am to 2pm is a comfortable window and the middle of it is the busiest. Rotary Park has room around it and Greenwood Drive is easy enough to park on, though a hundred stalls pulls a crowd. Bring cash for the smaller makers, and come hungry: the food trucks are a real part of the draw rather than an afterthought.
