Dandenong Market is an amazing fresh food and street food market in Dandenong. In my opinion Dandenong market is not only a market but it represents what makes Australia so unique. The market simply extrudes symbiotic multiculturalism with the idea of acceptance of all ethnicities working together in a cohesive and friendly environment. The market really uplifts the status and all the negative connotations associated with the Dandenong suburb. The market feels very safe and clean and is always buzzing with vibrant activity! Parking is never difficult to find even on busy event days which are hosted every 2 months celebrating the ethnic diversity that is Australia! To top it off Dandenong market is a flavour paradise and a foodie's dream! You can find pretty much any type of street food you can imagine here!!
