Emu Plains Market is Back

Emu Plains Market Returns to Balnarring This October with Stalls, Music and Local Flavour

After a Winter break, Emu Plains Market is set to return to Balnarring this October. Known as one of the Mornington Peninsula’s most loved markets, it brings together more than 200 stallholders under the shade of the stringybark forest at Emu Plains Reserve.

Visitors can expect a vibrant mix of artisan goods, homewares, fashion, and vintage finds, alongside gourmet street food and a bar stocked with local beer, wine and cider. Live music creates a relaxed festival atmosphere, making it the perfect day out with friends and family.

The market is proudly community-focused, with parking proceeds supporting local Rotary and the upkeep of Emu Plains Reserve. Just over an hour’s drive from Melbourne, it’s a destination worth planning for.
