Dandenong Market is a major-regional market located in Dandenong, Victoria in the South East of Melbourne, at the corner of Clow and Cleeland Streets. Dandenong Market is one of Melbourne's oldest markets, established in 1866, and is one of Australia's largest, with over 200 market traders [1] spread over 8000 square metres.[2] It reportedly attracts over 5 million visitors a year. It is approximately 30 kilometres south-east of Melbourne.[3]
Dandenong Market has served as an important focus for the area. The market, originally located at Lonsdale and McCrae Streets, was relocated to its current location in 1926. As a part of state redevelopment efforts in the City of Greater Dandenong, the market received a $26 million towards refurbishment that was completed in 2011.[4][5][6]
Dandenong Market is primarily known as a home to 150 nationalities, and its traditional market atmosphere.[7] The market is home to both stalls and shops selling fresh fruit and vegetables, seafood and meat, deli items, bakeries, and flowers. The market also has a large general merchandise area called "the Bazaar", featuring 120 traders selling clothing, jewellery, toys, home ware and computer equipment.
Dandenong Market is also known for popular events and festivals, including Dandenong World Fare[8] (which reportedly attracts over 35,000 visitors), the Full Moon festival,[9] and Diwali.[10]
