The smells of fresh-picked fruit and vegetables and the hum of a busy market fill Kay Street Gardens every fourth Saturday of the month, rain, hail or shine. Whether you are stocking the kitchen or simply enjoying a slow morning out, the Traralgon Farmers Market is a Latrobe Valley staple.
Run by the Traralgon Lions Club, the market has grown into a cherished community tradition. It is firmly a farmers market rather than a craft market, keeping the focus on quality, freshly harvested produce and carefully handmade products direct from local growers and artisans.
Visitors can browse stalls piled high with seasonal fruit and vegetables, pick up handmade goods, and chat directly with the people who grew or made what they are buying. The relaxed outdoor setting of the historic Kay Street Gardens makes the experience as much about community connection as it is about shopping.
By choosing to shop here, locals put money directly back into the hands of regional farmers and small producers, strengthening the food economy of Latrobe City and ensuring fresh, traceable produce stays accessible to the community. The market is a practical expression of the region's agricultural identity and community spirit.
The market runs from 8am to 1pm on the fourth Saturday of each month, with upcoming dates including 22 August, 26 September, 24 October and 28 November 2026, plus a special Christmas twilight market on Wednesday 23 December from 3pm to 8pm.
