We are very pleased to report that the Rye Foreshore Market reopened on the 7th March this year (at the carnival site - opposite Rye Hotel) after major development works by the Mornington Peninsula Shire around the Pier. And it was very exciting!
The Shire has built bigger and better car parking facilities near the pier and expanded the grassy area on neighbouring playground site.
As the Rye Carnival will be operating over Christmas, we have been given special permission to use the playground site for our February 6th 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 as the Peninsula is a very popular tourist destination over Summer.
We are also planning for 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 the community and stallholders.
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.
