Summer is the season to throw on your hat, sunnies and sandals and get outside.
What better place for this than the markets of the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges.
Whether it’s searching for a Christmas gift leading up to late December, food for the New Year or summer clothes for when the heat peaks in February, local markets are the place to go.
Every weekend, Yarra Ranges visitors can stumble across a mixture of food, craft and twilight markets throughout the season.
The Eltham Craft and Produce Market takes place on the third Sunday of every month, while shoppers can head to the Yarra Glen Racecourse Market on the first Sunday of every month.
On the second Sunday of every month, the Bollygum Community Market comes to life and the Kallista Community Market takes place on the first Saturday of every month.
Not only can market shoppers source local produce and stock but they can also shop for the season at an affordable price.
What’s more, is money can be spent with the comfort of knowing it’s typically going into the pockets of local businesses and families.
