Run by parent volunteers for more than two decades, the Elwood Community Market fills the grounds of Elwood Primary School with over 100 stalls each month. It's a fundraiser for the school, and the mix reflects that community spirit: fresh produce, plants, secondhand clothing, homewares, books and local crafts sit alongside food stalls and a coffee van. Families make up a good share of the crowd, with kids' activities often on offer alongside the stalls. It's an easygoing morning out rather than a big event, the kind of market where you might run into neighbours and end up staying longer than planned. Entry is free, and the market runs rain or shine on the first Saturday of the month during school term. It's an easy stop if you're exploring Elwood, just a short walk from the beach and the shops along Ormond Road.
