Much loved by locals and tourists alike, nearly 10 million visitors per year come to experience the vivid sights, sounds, smells and vibrant energy that pulses through the Queen Victoria Market.

Transforming the Queen Victoria Market car park into a place for enjoyment, recreation, rest and connection. Complementary to the atmospheric and evolving market, it is another setting for relationships and connections.

As the Melbourne population grows, Market Yard is a place to have fun and unwind - together.
