Footscray Market — Attraction in Melbourne

After a good 20 years of living here I saw an add on TV advertising the footscray market. I thought, cool! I gotta go see it, seeing how I've been to many other markets many times. Laverton market, Caribbean market, Gibson Market, St Kilda Market, Queen Vic Market, Eynesbury market. Baccus Marsh Market. Even been to the Salamanca market in Tassie. With all that said, Caribbean market was a far drive from the west but totally worth it and it's totally sad they decided to close it for good. Laverton market use to be nearly on par with the Caribbean market in my opinion but in recent years even before covid, it's started going downhill a bit. Markets are a great destination for families wanting to get the hell out of the house on weekends and walk around and maybe find a good bargain.

There was a lot of food at the Footscray market. Seafood, seafood, people serving seafood. If you love seafood, it might be worth your while! Parking was easy to find and inexpensive. I think cost me like a dollar on the weekend. We didn't stay long. We went, we saw and we weren't overly impressed. It appeared as though they were working on extending it. Perhaps after the new renovations and more shops are opened it may be bigger and better. Other than seafood, they had a few butcher's, some cheapy shops, produce/fruit and veg. Yeah...mainly food at this one. One or two places the food looked ok but honestly, we just kept going. So not my favourite market at all but not my least favourite Market, that prize still stays with the St Kilda Market. Which should be named the St Kilda "Craft" market. Great if your into crafts and some art but not great when you hear the word "market" and bring the family along to pay a fortune for parking and be bitterly disappointed to find just a few arts n craft stalls. Not really a market is it? More a small gathering of stalls. I remember being so bored I think we actually went twice, think'n maybe there will be more this time round....no...no there wasn't. Footscray is...
