IN SOME respects, it’s ‘market season’ every weekend somewhere in South Gippsland and Bass Coast but the outdoor marketplaces for all things fresh and fantastic really kicks into gear in December and January.
Local favourites include the Inverloch Farmers Market on the third Saturday of the month at The Glade in the Middle of Town, the Churchill Island Market on the first Saturday of each month, set against the ackdrop of tranquil Western Port, the time-honoured Kongwak Market each Sunday still with its esoteric vintage and retro roots, the original Koonwarra Farmers Market opposite the fire station on the first Saturday and the famous Prom Produce and Craft Market at Foster, back on Sunday, December 11 and running through on the following dates:
- Sunday, December 11, 2022
- Sunday, January 1, 2023
- Sunday, January 22 (Australia Day Weekend)
- Sunday, March 12 (Labour Day Weekend)
- Sunday 9th April (Easter Sunday)
