THERE is no better sign that winter is over than the full calendar of community markets taking place right across Gippsland each weekend.

And let’s be honest, with our diverse agriculture and produce, no one does a market better than Gippslanders.

Our markets – whether they be farmers markets, makers markets or community markets – are filled with a vast variety of locally grown fresh produce, handmade clothing and accessories, local arts and crafts, fresh flowers, baked treats, general bric-a-brac and much more!

These markets are a great opportunity to get out and enjoy all that Gippsland has to offer while supporting local producers and makers.
