The Esplanade, St Kilda VIC 3182, Australia
We took a morning walk at St Kilda beach on the 9th day of our Melbourne vacation and noticed that the iconic St Kilda Pier is closed for renovation and upgrading. After that we visited the weekend market. The scale of the market seems to have gotten smaller than I used to know with more food stalls and lesser artwork and handcrafted items stalls. Nevertheless, it is still a fun place to visit during the weekend.
Located on The Upper Esplanade, St Kilda, Victoria, Australia ?? I have been about 3 or 4 times to these markets. I love them ?. Every time I come to Melbourne, I never fail to come here. I always love the great range of handcrafted souvenirs, gifts, arts, clothing and other items. The market is held every Sunday from 10.00am. There’s always something new to look at. The markets has been running since 1970 . There’s some food trucks to grab something to eat and drink. It’s not really a large market but it’s still nice to come have a look if you’re coming to St Kilda. There’s a direct tram ride (No 16 or 96 tram) from Melbourne CBD to get to the market. It takes about 15 -20 minutes. Very easy. The views over the ocean are amazing. You can also walk around to the shops where there’s some really nice shops and if you want a nice meal, there’s plenty of places to pick from. If you wanted, you could take a walk along the beach and to the wharf. It’s a really cool walk. Overall, I really like these markets, always makes for a great day in St Kilda. A big Thumbs up!!! ???
the market has a nice variety of stalls which include homewares, food, art etc. We got Breaky and had a nice walk. The market is pet friendly with plenty of dogs on leash and spots for the dogs to have a drink. Lisa bakes had great cookies ?
Wonderful markets with original items, great dog treats, delicious foods, beautiful handmade clothing, sublime jewellery, handmade toys & clothing for children. It’s a perfect setting, right near the beach and Luna Park. A must go to place to visit when in Melbourne.
Nice variety of food trucks and stalls with no repeats Food pricey - $15 each for pancakes and souvlaki
