Correction (9 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026.
Two markets made this page, and that is the whole list. We could confirm the St Kilda Esplanade Market and the Veg Out St Kilda Farmers’ Market at two sources each, and nothing else met that bar, so there is no padding here.
One runs on Sundays, one once a month on a Saturday. Hours below are quoted from each market’s own site, so check before you head off.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Sunday arts and crafts stalls | St Kilda Esplanade Market | The Esplanade (Upper Esplanade), St Kilda |
| Monthly Saturday farm produce | Veg Out St Kilda Farmers’ Market | Peanut Farm Reserve, Chaucer Street, St Kilda |
St Kilda Esplanade Market — The Esplanade (Upper Esplanade), St Kilda VIC 3182
No price board here, so no dollar figure to quote. Its site says that since 1970 it has been a go-to spot for Australian arts and crafts, with handmade creations on sale every Sunday from 10 am. The hours line on its site reads Sunday 10 am to 4 pm, closed the other days. The site also notes the market skips St Kilda Festival Sunday and that weather can change hours. It says paid all-day parking is plentiful on the Upper and Lower Esplanade, and dogs are fine on their leads.
Market day: Sunday, 10 am to 4 pm per its site, so an arvo wander works; check the market’s Facebook page for weather cancellations.
Veg Out St Kilda Farmers’ Market — Peanut Farm Reserve, Chaucer Street, St Kilda VIC 3182
It runs on the first Saturday of each calendar month, between 8.30am and 1pm, per its own site, at Peanut Farm Reserve on Chaucer Street. The market says its producers sell direct, so the person at the stall is the person who made or grew it. Its list runs from fruit and veg to eggs, honey, breads, cheeses, seedlings and flowers, and breakfast and coffee are available. No prices were published that we could read.
The move: go early in the 8.30am window and check the market’s site or mailing list for the next date, because it is monthly, not weekly.
