The Best Christmas Markets in Melbourne for Presents, Produce and Festive Feels

With markets filed with fresh produce, local gifts and treats for the pets, there's really no reason to go within a square kilometre of a shopping centre this year.

Usually, if you've been to one Christmas market, you've been to them all. But not this year. In the lead-up to Christmas 2021, Melbourne has diversified its festive offerings. Along with the usual knick-knacks and gourmet packaged produce, you can browse the booze at two specialty markets, check out the festive makeover of one of the city's most iconic laneways, and pat some pooches at Docklands' dog-friendly offering. Or, wander through some of the city's array of summer evening market offerings. We'll take that over a crowded shopping centre any day.
