The Bridge Market is a Ballarat Farmers Market held on the first Saturday of the month at Ballarat Bridge Mall. Ballarat is central to everywhere, Melbourne, Bendigo Daylesford, you name it you’re close by. The Bridge Market sells a wide range of essential foods, gourmet items, hot food and locally made design ware. There’s plenty of parking that’s free for the first two hours in The Coles and Woolworths Carpark, The Big W Carpark and Cheap as Chips Carpark. Dogs are welcome at The Bridge, they are allowed provided they are kept in control on a short leash at all times. Hosted by the Bridge Mall Traders and operated by Rotary Wendouree Breakfast, every dollar raised from the market goes back into supporting this great monthly event. As well as supporting local community groups and independent traders, The Bridge Farmers Market supports and encourages community initiatives. They encourage you to bring along your reusable bags to minimise impact. This is a dog friendly event.
