Best Markets in Geelong: Farmers Markets and Weekend Events

Geelong's market scene draws on the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast agricultural hinterland, producing some quality farmer-to-consumer events. The Geelong Showgrounds Farmers Market on Breakwater Road at South Geelong operates on the second Saturday of the month and is the region's primary fresh produce market. The Torquay Farmers Market at Torquay Primary School runs on the fourth Saturday and draws fresh produce and artisan food from the Surf Coast hinterland. Queenscliff Farmers Market at Queenscliff Town Hall operates on the first Sunday of the month with a strong tourism-season character. The Pakington Street Newtown precinct periodically hosts market events. Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads on the Bellarine run seasonal markets during the summer visitor period. Checking current dates and locations before visiting is recommended as some markets are seasonal.
