Food lovers can explore a tempting selection of artisan producers offering small-batch jams, pickles, sauces, honey, sweet treats and pantry favourites. The courtyard will come alive with local food vendors serving delicious bites and great coffee, creating the perfect place to pause and soak up the atmosphere between market finds.

With most of the market located indoors, Piccadilly Market offers a relaxed setting to wander, shop and discover the stories behind the products. Meet the makers, chat with artists and explore a carefully curated line-up of stalls celebrating creativity and quality.

The July event will also feature some exciting local favourites, including free acupuncture from Australian Acupuncture Centre from 10am–3pm, freshly made marmalade from I’m Not Charlie, stunning leaf wall decorations from L.J Handmade Macrame, and many more talented stallholders bringing their latest creations to Geelong.

The Deakin Waterfront event follows a successful twilight edition at Little Creatures on 4 July, where Piccadilly Market joined the brewery’s Winter Wonderland weekend festival. The special evening edition filled the venue’s laneways and beer halls with more than 60 stalls, creating a vibrant mix of artisan shopping, food, drinks and entertainment.

Piccadilly Market’s 2026 calendar continues with more opportunities to discover local makers and flavours across Geelong. The market returns to Warralily on 5 September, 3 October and 5 December, including a special Christmas twilight pop-up. There will also be another visit to Little Creatures on 25 September, a creative takeover at Geelong Arts Centre on 9 October, and a festive return to Deakin Waterfront on 13 December for a Christmas pop-up edition.

From waterfront favourites to brewery nights, arts precinct events and festive markets, Piccadilly Market continues to showcase the incredible creativity, craftsmanship and culinary talent found throughout the region.
