In the Garden City, nature is never far...

Whether it’s a magical night of music at @liveatthegardens, a free workout in your neighbourhood or a creative class at Fawkner Park – Melbourne’s natural beauty is part of the experience.

What’s first on your list?

We’ve been busy at @vicmarket – bringing in modern upgrades while keeping all the charm loved by locals and visitors.

🏘️ Therry Street: Now a buzzing gateway to the market, home to narrm ngarrgu Library, affordable housing and plenty of food spots.

🍽️ Queen’s Food Hall: The old ’80s food court has made way for a fresh new space with lots of seating and flavours from around the world.

🛠️ Heritage sheds: All 12 sheds have been lovingly restored so they’ll stay part of the market’s story for generations to come.

And there’s more to come! Head to our link in bio to learn more 🔗
