Tootgarook Primary School Market
Fourth-Saturday-of-the-month fundraiser market run by Tootgarook Primary, 250 stalls of everything from produce to second-hand. Proceeds back into the school.
Worth the drive
Tootgarook Primary's fourth-Saturday-of-the-month market is the sleeper hit of the southern Peninsula. 250 stalls is a serious number, the mix runs from produce to plants to second-hand to craft, and every dollar goes back into the school.
Get there by 8am. The car queue down Carmichael Street is real, and the bargains thin out fast. Pair it with a swim or a walk at Rye Beach (ten minutes' drive), or finish with breakfast on the Rosebud foreshore.
If you're a Mornington or northern Peninsula local, this is the cross-Peninsula market worth a Saturday.
