The Little Food Market 2026

The Little Food Market: A culinary adventure like no other.

The Little Food Market is here to celebrate the original; the high quality; and the vision of Australian tastemakers.

Creating an intimate atmosphere, the event will bring culinary creators from all corners of Australia where visitors can taste, purchase, and discover.

A space totally dedicated to talented, passionate people sharing their food and drink creations with an equally passionate audience.

The Winnings Food Experience Stage
Back for another year, The Winnings Food Experience Stage at The Little Food Market is your front-row seat to culinary creativity. Hosted by food journalist Dani Valent and Turnip Media's Hilary McNevin, this year's program features chefs, producers and flavour-makers sharing their tips, tricks and delicious demos across the weekend.

From fresh pasta and fermentation to the art of a next-level cheeseboard, it's all about real skills, great food, and good vibes. All sessions include complimentary tastings, so you'll get to sample the dishes being made live on stage.

Presented in collaboration with Winnings, the program celebrates the people, produce and passion behind every dish.

Tasting
The Little Food Market is a celebration of flavour, where curious food lovers can discover the stories, skills and passion behind every bite. Wander the aisles and sample everything from small-batch hot sauces and award-winning olive oils to organic cheeses, craft spirits and sweet treats - all made by the country's most exciting producers.

Feasting
The Feasting area at The Little Food Market is your go-to for full-sized, ready-to-enjoy meals from some of Melbourne's most loved kitchens.

From rich Italian pasta and pillowy bao to golden pastéis de nata, Greek street food and flavour-packed Japanese favourites, it's a wintery celebration of comfort, craft and culture. Savour every bite, sip something special from the bar, and settle in for a relaxed moment between tastings.
