Dandenong Market

Dandenong Market is a large indoor and outdoor market on Clow Street in Dandenong, City of Greater Dandenong, Victoria, about 30 km southeast of central Melbourne. Established in 1866, it is one of Melbourne's oldest markets and now hosts more than 200 traders. It is notable for fresh fruit and vegetables, seafood, meat, deli goods, multicultural foods and general merchandise, serving as a major community and visitor hub in southeast Melbourne.

Visitors can expect a bustling, largely undercover market with wide aisles of stalls selling fresh produce, seafood, meat, bakery and deli items, plus general merchandise, clothing and household goods. The market includes a multicultural food hall and street-food area with Afghan, Indian, Vietnamese, Sri Lankan and Middle Eastern cuisines. The setting is flat and paved, with open-air and roofed sections, seating areas for dining, and a lively, community-focused atmosphere.

Established in 1866 as a livestock and produce market, it is one of Melbourne's oldest continuously operating markets. Originally held at other sites in central Dandenong, it moved to its current Clow Street location in 1926 and has been rebuilt and expanded several times, serving as a commercial and community centre for southeast Melbourne for more than 150 years.

Reflects the cultural diversity of the City of Greater Dandenong, one of Australia's most multicultural municipalities. Traders and food offerings represent Afghan, Indian, Vietnamese, Sri Lankan, Middle Eastern and other communities, and the market functions as a community meeting place and showcase of migrant food traditions.
