About this market
Queen Victoria Market is Melbourne's historic open-air marketplace, running since 1878 across two city blocks in the CBD. Listed on the National Heritage Register, it is still the city's main produce and social hub, with more than 600 traders in the Meat and Fish Hall, Deli Hall, fruit and vegetable sheds, and open-air stalls.
Expect fresh farm produce, meat and seafood, deli goods, and a mix of handmade products, fashion, homewares and gifts. A seasonal Summer Night Market brings street food, live music and handmade shopping on Wednesday evenings.
