ABOUT THE MARKET
Hey there! I’m the organiser behind the Geelong Dog Lovers Market; a vibrant community event made especially for dog lovers and their furry companions.
It all began back in 2021 with small pop-up dog markets outside my shop on Pakington Street. Thanks to amazing community support, the event quickly outgrew that space, and in February 2022 the market made the move to the iconic Little Creatures Brewery in Geelong. Now held every two months, the market features anywhere between 20 to 40 stalls of passionate small businesses offering a wide range of pet-focused products and services. It’s a one-of-a-kind event in our region and continues to draw large, loyal crowds. The best part? Entry is completely free! Little Creatures is the perfect venue, with a spacious, dog-friendly outdoor dining area, a delicious food menu, and plenty of their famous beers on tap. So come along, bring your pup, and experience one of Geelong’s most loved local events!
Market Dates 2025: 30th March, 4th May, 27th July, October 12th, December Christmas Market TBA.
