Christmas at Dandenong Market

The festive season is fast approaching and Dandenong Market is getting ready for all the exciting festivities that come with it - including the arrival of Santa himself.

Visit Santa at Dandenong Market

This time of the year, everybody’s waiting for one person – and Dandenong Market is where you can find him. Santa will take up his seat on Tuesday 10 December and be on hand to snap a photo with his biggest fans every Market day until Christmas Eve between 11am and 3pm. He will have a free gift for all children and will be inviting them to post their Christmas list to him with a special letter box at the Market. Those who include a stamped self-address envelope will receive a reply.

Dandenong Market will also be keeping the busy, buzzing market alive and festive with free Christmas carols and interactive displays to keep children entertained.
