No doubt, the best twilight market in Phillip Island.

This market has been running for over 15 years. From its humble beginnings on the grass at Erehwon Point. Originally organized by the wonderful Anne-Marie Emanuele, the market was run for the benefit of local charities.

Currently, the market is run by Phillip Island Traders (Phillip Island Markets) by the wonderful Darlene. They also run a selection of boutique markets in Cowes: Market on Chapel, Market on Church and the Cowes Sunday Market on the Jetty Triangle.

Anyone that has ever visited Cowes, and has stumbled upon the market as the sun sets, as the bands play on stage, and as the smells waft from the foodies can testify of the beauty, and character of this iconic island market.

Many a time I have cooked at this market, and set up in front of punters sunbaking on the sand along the foreshore. “What’s going on here?”, they would ask. I would just say, “just wait and see”.
