Overview
Fitzroy's Rose Street is home to one hell of a weekly market — the Fitzroy Mills Market — which champions local food producers and makers. You'll find it within the former manufacturing mill at 75 Rose Street — from 9am-2pm every Saturday — which is also home to the ever-popular Rose St. Artists' Market. Hoem to two top Melbourne markets, this inner north strip really is your one-stop weekend shop.
The Fitzroy Mills Market is the brainchild of siblings Ari, Aphrodite and Chris Vlahos, pitched as a vibrant wellness event for locals and visitors alike. Aimed at celebrating local farmers and connecting the community to their food growers and makers, the market features a curated selection of sought-after vendors, slinging a huge array of produce and artisan goodies direct to the public.
The stall-holders change somewhat regularly, but you should expect to find coffee, iced tea, bread, pies, egg and bacon rolls, and pastries, plus a stack of beauty products, homewares and vintage clothing. Live music is also on the cards most weeks, creating optimal browsing vibes.
If you're in need of a casual Saturday shop and find yourself up north, be sure to stop by The Fitzroy Mills Market and neighbouring Rose Street Artists' Market.
