About this market
Nestled in the foothills of the Yarra Ranges, St Andrews Community Market has been a fixture of the local community since the early 1970s - one of Melbourne's longest-running grassroots gatherings. The market carries a distinctly earthy, unhurried energy: think bush setting, a volunteer-run ethos, and a stall mix that skews handmade, organic, and eclectic. Shoppers browse everything from fresh sourdough and raw honey to crystals, esoteric wares, pre-loved vintage finds, and original crafts, all with the Kinglake Ranges as backdrop.
The market sits directly opposite a local baker, the Boy Named Sue cafe, and the St Andrews Pub, making it easy to turn a Saturday browse into a full morning out. Because the committee and all helpers are volunteers, the atmosphere genuinely reflects community rather than commerce - every week brings a slightly different mix of casual stalls alongside regulars. Note: the market is closed on days of Total Fire Ban; check the CFA website before travelling.
