Markets 14 July 2026 Recurs monthly

Mornington Racecourse Market

Monthly craft market at Mornington Racecourse. 300+ stalls of hand-made, home-made and Australian-designed goods. Street food vendors, live music, animal farm and face painting for kids. Paid parking. Dogs not permitted (service dogs exempt).

Worth the drive First timer

Mornington Racecourse Market is the year-round answer to Red Hill (which goes quiet over winter). Second Sunday of the month, 300-plus stalls of hand-made and Australian-designed goods, street food, live music. Parking is paid and dogs stay home (service dogs aside).

The move: arrive around 9:15am, do the food vendors before the queue, then the craft loop. The kids zone makes this a low-stress family Sunday. Heads up: occasional schedule shifts around race days, so check before driving from outside the Peninsula. The 10 May 2026 edition was cancelled for exactly this reason.

Keep planning
