BAYSIDE IN 5: BOURNE LOCAL ELWOOD MARKET
The secret’s out: the Bourne Local Market in Elwood Park is Melbourne’s best new market! Melbourne is famous for its farmer's markets, and for good reason. Our city has no shortage of outdoor shopping destinations offering up high-quality produce, hand-made crafts and hidden treasures from amazing local vendors. But with the added touch of Elwood Park’s beautiful greenery and the sound of the bay in the background, there’s no better way to spend your Sunday than with a day out at Bourne Local.
The team at C&G love any opportunity to bring our local community together, and the Bourne local markets at Elwood Park have fast become one of our favourite local events! For this week’s Bayside In 5, we’re giving you five reasons to visit Bourne Local Elwood Market this summer.
90+ market stalls every month featuring 100% local artisan vendors
With the festive season fast approaching, Bourne Local is a fantastic place to get your shopping done in one place! The variety and quality of stalls are incredible, with hidden delights, local treasures, wellness and beauty secrets, fashion, jewellery, unique artworks and seasonal produce around every corner. You’ll find pieces at the Bourne Local markets that you’re unlikely to find anywhere else, making it easier than ever to impress your friends and family this Christmas (or simply treat yourself to something special!)

Bourne Local is the perfect summer market
The Bourne Local team knows that Bayside locals love summer! That’s why they’re making the most of our warm weather by extending their current market season to include every third Sunday of the month right through May 2023. Be sure to enjoy a stroll along the Elwood Promenade and take in the beautiful Bay before arriving at the market for your day of shopping and entertainment.
More than just shopping - Bourne Local is a fantastic day out in Elwood
The team work hard to make Bourne Local more than just a day of shopping by bringing together the very best eating, drinking and entertainment options for all ages. With a great variety of food trucks, pop-up bars, and live music and entertainment to keep you busy, everyone in the family is bound to find something to enjoy! Shoppers can sit back and relax with some tasty tacos, a local craft beer, or maybe something sweet while enjoying curated performances by local musicians and entertainers. Make Bourne Local your next spot to catch up with friends for a coffee or a glass of wine.
No need for a babysitter! There are plenty of activities to keep the kids entertained
With face-painting, pony rides, a photo booth and even an open-air cinema screening your favourite family-friendly classics (from late January 2023), your kids will love Bourne Local just as much as you! Santa is even stopping in to visit and take photos with the little ones from November 20th right through until Christmas.
Dog-friendly event
Don’t leave your four-legged friends at home! With plenty of exciting things to see (and smell!), Bourne Local is a dog-friendly event. Take your pooch for a stroll along the foreshore before bringing them along to the market. You’ll be sure to find plenty of artisan pet stalls to spoil your extra-fancy furry friends. Bourne Local’s roving photographers might even ask to take a snap to share on their Instagram!
