Running every Sunday since 1970, the St Kilda Esplanade Market brings more than 100 artists and craftspeople to the Upper Esplanade for a day of browsing beside the bay. Stalls line the foreshore between Fitzroy Street and Acland Street, close to Luna Park, and the mix changes week to week, so regulars often spot new makers alongside long-time favourites. Expect handmade jewellery, ceramics, timber furniture, textiles and other one-off pieces, most made by the person selling them. It's a relaxed way to spend a morning, particularly if you pair it with breakfast at one of the nearby cafes or a walk along St Kilda Beach afterwards. The market suits browsers as much as buyers, and its beachside setting makes it a pleasant stop for visitors combining a market visit with a day exploring St Kilda. Trams 16 and 96 stop nearby, making it an easy trip without a car. Entry is free, and stalls open from 10am.
