This list does not include markets that are cancelled for reasons including weather, road conditions, holidays, sickness etc.

Why this list?

Readers' spend hours searching for a market and then email in frustration asking "what happened to XXXX Market"?

It is frustrating for everyone when market advertisers' do not cancel advertising. A search for some markets listed above would have you believe they are still operating. We see market web sites that are not updated and more recently, Facebook where it's impossible to tell whether the market is active or not.

Every year, market operators are asked to re-confirm their details and while many do, some don't.

If you find markets listed that are no longer trading, please let us know!

* Warburton River Market
Warburton River Market is incorrectly listed on many web sites** as still operating with a contact number for a Heather who runs Williamstown Market.
** marketsandfairs.com.au, you.com.au, marketguide.com.au, melbournechat.org, mymarketday.com.au, sweetandsour.com.au, ruralandgeneral.com.au, coastshop.com.au

*** Highland Farmers' Market - 2011 had not operated for a number of years.
Highlands Farmers' & Community Market - 2015 no longer running

Sorrento Markets
In short, none of the markets below are operating as of September 2013. There are many web sites that are out of date saying they are still on but we have checked and they are not. If you have any doubts, call Sorrento Beachside Visitor Info Centre on (03) 5984 1478

Cancelled Markets

We'd love to hear a way that publishers could confirm that every one of the 500 markets (average weekend) is operating.

One good suggestion was that each market leave a recorded message with operating conditions and times.
