The first commemoration activity of the Sunday Market’s 50^th anniversary festival is now completed.

Five businesses in the Camberwell Junction precinct are hosting artwork painted by local artists on their front windows.

The results are spectacular!

The Window Art Trail is an easy walk – start in Prospect Hill Road, walk down Burke Rd before heading for Woolworths.

The work of these artists is impressive and there for everyone to enjoy.

The artwork is brought to you by Balwyn Rotary, Camberwell Junction shopping precinct and the participating retailers.

The fun of the Sunday market generates funds to support Rotary projects in Australia and internationally.

Balwyn Rotary recently contributed $50,000 to support the Emergency Medicine Kenya Foundation (EMKF) — an inspiring initiative working to ensure that everyone in Kenya has access to quality emergency medical care when they need it most.

Through training, advocacy, and system development, EMKF is transforming how emergency care is delivered — equipping hospitals, first responders, and communities to save lives every day.

The donation will help expand access to critical emergency services, train healthcare professionals, and strengthen Kenya’s emergency response systems and a great example of how the Camberwell Sunday Market is contributing so much more that a regular ‘flea market.’

Sundays at Camberwell are something special in Melbourne – locals and tourists alike. In addition to a vibrant dining and retail shopping scene, Sunday’s come alive with thousands of people gathering for the weekly Camberwell Market.

Now in our 50th year, established by the Balwyn Rotary Club in 1976, the market still holds true to many of its founding principles: (1) raising funds for Rotary projects and other worthwhile causes and (2) recycling, reuse and repurposing of secondhand items. However the seems to have a life of its own, evolving and changes with times. What is traded in 2026 can be very different from 2006 and 1976.

Over the years Rotary has continued this original promise and raised tens of millions of dollars for charities and other projects and facilitated the recycling of tens of millions of secondhand items… with thanks to our volunteers, stallholders, visitors and the broader market community.

We are open as usual on the Australia Day long weekend – so hoping to see you on Sunday 25 January 2026 and each following weekend. Entry for visitors is a gold coin donation.

The market operates each Sunday from 7am – 12:30pm (rain, hail or shine) at the Camberwell Junction car park at the corner of Station Street and Market Place, Camberwell. Join us and:

• Discover a treasure
• Discover a cause
• Discover Camberwell

Wishing everyone a happy and safe 2026! Thank you for your support during 2025 and we look forward to sharing details of our 50th anniversary celebrations this year – 1976 to 2026.

We will now be open every Sunday until Christmas from 7am to 12:30pm. Variously known as a ‘browse and buy’ car boot sale, a ‘trash and treasure’ market and ‘flea market’, we sell secondhand items and homemade goods.
