We are very pleased to report that the Rye Foreshore Market is reopening on the 7th March (at the carnival site - opposite Rye Hotel) after major development works by the Mornington Peninsula Shire around the Pier. And we are very excited!
The Shire has built bigger and better car parking facilities on the Rye carnival site (opposite Rye Hotel) and expanded the grassy area on the playground site.
They have also made major changes to our original market site (opposite the Rye Post Office). It is now very attractive and has good access via the new boardwalk on the beach side. It is also very flat and grassy. Although the turf is well established it cannot be driven on, so we have been offered the carnival site when they are not operating. We may use the old site over Summer.
As the Rye Carnival will be operating over Easter and Christmas, we have been given special permission to use the playground site for our 4th April (Easter) market. This is a beautiful waterfront site with outstanding facilities like a large playground, BBQs, shelters and toilets. It is also visible from the street as well as the carnival site. No vehicles will be allowed but it will no doubt be a popular market for stallholders
We are also planning for better signage and a more substantial online presence.

Please also consider attending the Rosebud Market which is run by Rosebud Primary School on the 2nd Saturday of every month.
Our Rotary club supports the Primary School by providing market goers with a BBQ to serve you piping hot bacon and egg rolls and sausages in bread, plus drinks - all profits going to local charitable causes.
Thank you and see you very soon!
The Rye Foreshore Market is one of the community fundraising activities for the Rotary Club of Rosebud-Rye. It is held on the first Saturday of each month and has been running for over 20 years. The market is organised by Rotary volunteers and all income received from stall hire is used for community service projects. The intention is to serve both stallholders and the community. We welcome feedback, as we make the big change to an online booking system.
PRODUCTS SOLD AT THE MARKET
The Rye Foreshore market is classified as a 'Make Bake and Grow" market. We aim for 70% of stalls to sell homemade or home-grown goods. Goods not permitted include animals, poisonous products, prescription medication, illegal goods, pornography, firearms, ammunition, explosives, weapons including knives. dangerous goods, counterfeit or copied goods.
The Market does not have pre-designated areas for different product categories; hence a stroll round the whole market is encouraged to see the broad range of products sold.
Stallholders can now book a site and pay online.
