Win Free Parking at Dandenong Market for a Whole Year

To celebrate 160 years of Dandenong Market, we’re giving one lucky customer completely free parking for an entire year.

That’s right. 12 months of arriving at the Market, grabbing a park and getting straight to your shop! Fresh produce to discover. Your favourite foods to pick up. A coffee (or two). A browse through the stalls. And all those little finds you never knew you needed.

No catch. No gimmick. Just one seriously handy prize that keeps on giving, every time you visit.

Think of it as a small thank you from us to the community that’s supported us over this many decades.

How to enter

Simply tell us, in 150 characters or less, what you love about the Dandenong Market. The most convincing, creative or entertaining answer will take home the prize.

So, what does becoming a Parking “VIP” actually mean?

Okay, let’s be real. This prize doesn’t include a reserved parking bay, a personal chauffeur named Nigel, red carpet treatment or a trumpet fanfare every time you arrive. But it does offer something just as valuable and convenient. Free parking at Dandenong Market for 12 months!

And a quick disclaimer. While we’re calling the lucky winner our “VIP”, the truth is every customer is already a VIP at Dandenong Market. From those of you that visit every week to the ones who are discovering it for the very first time. You’re all part of what makes our market such a vibrant and diverse community.
