Where to shop, snack, and meet the makers

This is the wide-angle view of Victoria's market scene: weekend farmers stalls, day trips up the peninsula, the Public Market's food hall, craft and maker fairs, holiday pop-ups, the producers behind the tables, and the food tours that thread it all together.

Use it as your jumping-off point. When you know what you're after, you can branch into a single market type and go deep.

Markets move fast, so treat the stories below as a head start and confirm the date-sensitive bits with the market itself. From here you can narrow into the farmers markets, the Public Market food hall, holiday markets, or our favourite specialty food shops.

Craft fairs and holiday markets especially have a habit of changing their lineups and hours, so check maker lists and tickets before you make a plan around them.
