Point Nepean Portsea Market
Bi-monthly artisan market threaded through the historic Quarantine Station buildings and tea trees at Point Nepean. Make-or-grow rule for every stall, food vans, live music, roads closed to traffic.
Point Nepean Portsea Market only runs a handful of times a year inside the Quarantine Station precinct, which is exactly what makes it worth circling. Roads close to traffic, the historic buildings become a backdrop, and every stall is bound by a make-or-grow-it rule (no resellers).
Go early, the carpark fills fast and shade is genuinely limited. Pair it with a Fort Nepean walk or the cliff loop to make a day of it, and finish at the Portsea Hotel for a wine on the lawn.
Keep an eye on the Shire markets page for the next date; the schedule is seasonal and irregular. Service dogs only, no general pets.
