Footscray Finds Is the Inner West's New Monthly Market

While Melbourne's got no shortage of great artisan markets happening across the city each weekend, the inner west has  missed out on most of the action. But that's all set to change on June 18, when new monthly market Footscray Finds kicks off its first run in the carpark of Footscray Library.

With a focus on the boutique, the unique and the handmade — and held in conjunction with Maribyrnong City Council — this event's got an offering to rival that of many of its more established, cross-town counterparts. Scheduled for the third Sunday of each month, it's set to showcase a stellar lineup of local producers and makers with a huge array of stalls covering everything from covetable vintage fashion and books, to vinyl, handcrafted homewares and fresh vegan produce.

Meanwhile, a rotation of your favourite food trucks will be serving up easy eats, and local acts will be dropping all sorts of live sets, with June's debut market event set to feature retro-loving PBS legend, DJ Emma Peel. Anyone wanting to be a stallholder themselves can apply now for a car boot or marquee space, which clock in at $50 each.

Footscray Finds will run from 8am-1pm, on the third Sunday of each month, in the carpark of the Footscray Library, 56 Paisley Street, Footscray. For more info or to book a stall, visit footscrayfinds.com.au.
