The Rye Foreshore Market is a lively and welcoming community market held on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula. Located on the Carnival site next to the pier, this market has been a cherished local event for over 20 years. It is organised by the Rotary Club of Rosebud-Rye volunteers, with all stall hire income supporting community service projects.
Visitors can enjoy a diverse range of stalls featuring fresh produce, homemade baked goods, plants, and crafts. The market atmosphere is friendly and family-oriented, perfect for a morning outing with school-aged children. With the market running from early morning until mid-afternoon, there’s plenty of time to explore and find unique local treasures.
The market operates on the first Saturday of each month from 08:30 to 14:00. It is classified as a 'Make Bake and Grow' market, emphasizing homemade and homegrown products. The event is free to attend, making it an accessible and budget-friendly activity for families looking to support local producers and artisans.
The market is set on Pt Nepean Road in Rye, directly across from the Rye Hotel, making it easy to find and access. There is ample parking nearby, and the location is stroller-friendly, ideal for families with young children. The picturesque foreshore setting adds to the charm, providing a lovely backdrop for a weekend outing.
This market is run entirely by volunteers from the Rotary Club of Rosebud-Rye, so your support helps fund important community projects. It is a pet-friendly event, but owners are asked to keep pets on a leash. Weather can vary, so dressing in layers and bringing sun protection is recommended.
No booking is required to attend the market. Entry is free for all visitors. Stall hire fees are collected by the Rotary Club to support their community initiatives. For more information or to inquire about stall bookings, contact details are provided below.
