Summer at the Market 

Summer is a fabulous time at South Melbourne Market. Come for a shopping ramble, discover new fresh produce or simpley enjoy the street scene. Be seen sipping a margarita or eating sensational Spanish, Chinese or Sicilian cuisine under the umbrellas in Cecil Street.

The South Melbourne Market is Melbourne's oldest continuing market - we've been here since 1867. Located entirely undercover and close to the city and public transport, it is one of Melbourne's most popular markets.
