# Best Markets on the Mornington Peninsula

The original Red Hill Community Market is temporarily closed. The separate [Hill & Ridge Community Market](<https://peninsulainsider.com.au/whats-on/hill-ridge-community-market-september-2026-restart/>) runs at Red Hill Recreation Reserve on first Saturdays from September to May, 9am to 2pm; check the organiser for weather cancellations. Mornington Main Street, Rye Foreshore and Mount Eliza Farmers Market offer other source-checked options. The former Balnarring Village Green listing is paused because its current schedule is unverified.

Researched from published sources. Every venue listed was reviewed April 2026 or later.
