This year Dandenong Market celebrated the incredible traders that make the Market so special with the 2025 Trader Awards. The traders are the heart and soul of the Market, and these awards provided the opportunity to recognise their passion, talent, and hard work. From mouth-watering street food and fresh local produce to one-of-a-kind treasures and warm, welcoming service, Dandenong Market invited the community to have their say and vote for their favourite stalls, shops, and team members across various award categories.
