If you’re after a family outing that ticks all the boxes, the Williamstown Craft Market is a lovely one!

Held in the picturesque Commonwealth Reserve right on the water, you can browse plenty of handmade crafts and goodies while enjoying coffee, food trucks and live music.

Williamstown Craft Market Weekend Adventure Melbourne West

There’s a great mix of stalls to wander through, with homemade treats, gifts, homewares and plenty of unique finds. And for the kids, there are often fun activities to keep them entertained too, such as a petting zoo — although these can vary from market to market, so it’s worth checking ahead.

The waterfront location is a big part of the appeal, with beautiful views across the bay and plenty of space to soak up the atmosphere while the kids have a wander. Once you’ve finished exploring the market, you can easily make a morning of it with a play at the park afterwards.

Please note: Market stalls and activities can change from market to market, so we recommend checking with the Williamstown Craft Market directly if there’s something specific you’re hoping to see on the day.
