Bourne Local Market at Alma Park

Part of the Bourne Local family of Melbourne park markets, the Alma Park edition brings a curated line-up of Victorian makers and small businesses into one of St Kilda East's best-loved stretches of open parkland. Stalls range from independent fashion and jewellery to handmade goods, homewares, beauty and boutique pet products, with food and drink vendors keeping everyone fuelled through the day. Live music and family-friendly activities set a relaxed, picnic-on-the-grass tone, so it's as much a place to linger with friends and kids as it is a shopping trip. Easy to reach from St Kilda, Elwood and the surrounding bayside suburbs, it runs as a seasonal series rather than every week, which keeps each market feeling like an occasion.
