About this market

Warrandyte Riverside Market has been trading on the banks of the Yarra River since 1985. It sets up in Stiggants Reserve on the first Saturday of each month, and Manningham Life described it in 2025 as the largest community market in Melbourne's eastern suburbs. That report put its licensed capacity at 184 stalls and its crowd at around 5,500 visitors a month.

Six local groups behind one riverside market

The market is managed by a committee for the wider Warrandyte community. Its six partner organisations are the Rotary Club of Warrandyte Donvale, the Lions Club of Warrandyte, the Warrandyte Community Association, Warrandyte Community Church, North Warrandyte CFA and Donvale Bowls Club. Net proceeds go back into the area through sponsorships and grants. Market manager Rob Edwards told Manningham Life that the market has the unique ability to bring the whole community together, working collaboratively and consolidating friendships.

There is room for a maximum of 180 sites, and the market's own site says most months present the full number of stallholders. Expect fresh fruit and vegetables, jams, cheese, breads and pastries next to handcrafted goods such as soaps, scarves and jewellery, with live music along the river.
