This Christmas, Dandenong Market is asking the Greater Dandenong community to prioritise supporting small business when preparing for this long awaited festive season. Since March 2020, the Market’s 130 non-food traders have had their shops closed for more than nine months. We’ve all missed the vibrant Bazaar, the colourful florists and nurseries, much-loved pet stores, key cutters and natural soap merchant.

Essential food traders, who were able to operate as normal, still experienced reduced visitation due to radius restrictions limiting regular customers from visiting the City’s cultural meeting place.

Fortunately, 615 days since the beginning of our first lockdown, all 200 small businesses are able to open their doors to the Market community this holiday season.

Dandenong Market is the best place to pick up the perfect gift these holidays. Why? Because you can find everything in one shop. Check out the Market’s Bazaar and browse the expansive treasures and trinkets at amazing prices. Every plant parent will love a thoughtful pot and those with flower power can’t go past one of the five thriving florists. With postal services backlogged and overseas orders delayed, buying in store is the best way to ensure there’ll be presents under the tree ready for the big day.

Gift giving isn’t the only reason to shop at Dandenong Market this Christmas. The Meat, Fish and Deli Hall is a one stop shop for Christmas day cooking. Pick up fresh seafood, pre-order the perfect roast chicken or treat the family to a traditional fruit cake from Melina’s Bakery and Larder. Or, pop by one of the Market’s many fresh fruit and vegetable stalls to stock up on the best tasting seasonal produce to share with loved ones.
