The St Kilda Esplanade Market is a makers\u2019 market and has been a St Kilda Sunday delight since the 1970s. Set against the iconic backdrop of the St Kilda Beach, close to Luna Park, Acland Street and Fitzroy Street, it\u2019s famous for a good reason \u2013 there\u2019s something for everyone and more!<\/p>\n
Take a stroll along the Upper Esplanade and enjoy browsing through the market\u2019s many artisan products. Grab a bite to eat from the \u2018Foodie Zone\u2019 with flavours from around the world.<\/p>\n
This vibrant makers\u2019 market features unique stalls of hand crafted artwork, wood products, jewellery, accessories, children\u2019s toys, original designed clothing, artisan food products and much more. And you\u2019ll find it all in Melbourne\u2019s open-air gallery by the sea.<\/p>\n
Each and every stallholder has a hand in making the products being sold. Take the time to ask how the products are made, and you will soon see the love and passion that is poured into each of the one-of-a-kind pieces of work.<\/p>\n
From gifts and homewares to clothing, homewares and jewellery \u2013 you will leave confident that you are taking with you something that is unique and Australian made by the stallholder.<\/p>\n
New stalls are added to the market every week, so there is always something different to catch your eye.<\/p>\n
One of the oldest makers\u2019 markets in Melbourne, celebrating 52 years this December, St Kilda Esplanade Market began as a starting platform for many artists, including James Egan, now a national living treasure, and Ruth Epps, who were among the first 20 or so artists to display their work. The market quickly began attracting stallholders who were not just St Kilda locals, but artists and makers from all over Victoria, and so the magic of the St Kilda Esplanade Market began.<\/p>\n
The market is open every Sunday of the year from 10am to 4pm (and 5pm daylight saving hours). It is a great day out with family, friends and fur babies and a must-visit when in Melbourne.<\/p>\n
Getting there is an easy 15-minute ride from the city on tram 16 or 96 and there is plenty of parking nearby.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
