The Lost Wood's Market
The Lost Woods Market is a vibrant, community-driven event nestled in the heart of Emerald's Puffing Billy Park. Held on the second Saturday of each month, this market is a celebration of local artisans, makers, and the enchanting charm of the Dandenong Ranges.
With over 150 stalls, visitors can explore a diverse array of handcrafted goods, from crocheted toys and hand-painted vases to unique "witchy brews" and magical mermaid figurines. The market's atmosphere is further elevated by the melodies of local buskers and the whimsical bunting that adorns the towering trees.
Food enthusiasts are in for a treat, with a plethora of food trucks and stalls offering delights such as bao, hot dogs, giant spring rolls, and Indian dosas. For those with a sweet tooth, options abound, including donuts, chocolate-covered strawberries, apple crumble, and tiramisu.
A unique feature of the market is the occasional sighting of chickens among the stalls, adding a touch of rustic charm.And for train enthusiasts, the iconic Puffing Billy often makes an appearance, delighting children and adults alike as it chugs past the festivities.
Please note that parking is limited; however, a free shuttle service runs from Emerald Secondary College during market hours.
Experience the magic, community spirit, and artisanal wonders of The Lost Woods Market—a must-visit destination in the Dandenong Ranges.
