The ultimate Canberra markets guide.

Local markets are more than just a place to grab a quick bite or pick up a few veggies.

A visit to a local market is an opportunity to:

  • taste produce from local producers
  • browse wares from local artists
  • enjoy a delicious meal
  • listen to live music
  • support your community.

No matter what side of the lake you live on, Canberra has some excellent markets.
Some are weekly, some only come a few times a year – but all of them offer a unique Canberra experience.

Here’s your guide to Canberra’s markets:

The Capital Region Farmers Market
