To market, to market

The region is home to an array of markets, offering everything from fresh produce to artisan products and baked goods.

In Geelong, you'll find bustling markets that highlight the city's vibrant culture, including South Geelong Farmers' Market and the newer Geelong City Market which runs every Saturday (except over Christmas) filling Market Square Mall with seasonal produce, street food, local makers, live entertainment and cultural experiences.

Across The Bellarine, community markets like Barwon Heads Makers Market, Point Lonsdale Market, and Queenscliff Market give you the chance to connect with local makers and producers.

Pick up fresh ingredients, browse handmade wares or simply enjoy a good feed. Each market has its own character, and together they make weekends here feel like something special.
