Bayside Farmers Market

Held on the fourth Saturday of each month at the picturesque Trey Bit Reserve beside the Sandringham Yacht Club, Bayside Farmers Market is one of Melbourne's most beloved monthly markets and the flagship fundraiser for the Rotary Club of Hampton. More than $400,000 has been channelled back into local community projects since the market launched, so every gold coin at the gate goes somewhere meaningful. Around 60 stalls bring together farm-fresh seasonal produce, artisan gourmet goods, and specialty coffee in a relaxed beachside setting off Jetty Road - making it as much a Saturday morning social ritual as a shopping trip. Kids are kept busy with a petting zoo and face-painting, the family dog is welcome, and there's plenty to eat and drink while you catch up with friends and neighbours.
