One-stop events

You'll find over 300 stalls offering everything from fresh produce and home baked breads, jams and preserves to handmade artisan crafts. 

Markets large and small

After you've checked out the famed Red Hill, Mornington Racecourse and Mornington Main Street markets, drop in to bustling sites at Balnarring Racecourse Craft Market, Boneo Community Market and Rye Market, and soak up more of the peninsula's creative atmosphere.

Fresh treats and handmade treasures

Fill up with delights fresh from the field at provedores like Merricks and Somers general stores, Red Hill Cool Stores, the Tasting Station, Red Hill Cheese and Main Ridge Dairy. For handmade artisan crafts and design objects take a drive to the Red Hill and Mornington markets.

Boutiques to antiques

Make a beeline for Hastings and Tyabb, an emerging hub for vintage fashion and homewares. Scour the two acres of Victorian-era antiques at Tyabb Packing House, Australia's largest antique centre. Discover hard-to-find items and high fashion and leave with more than you bargained for from The Vintage Shed and The Vintage Emporium.
