Byron Bay Markets
Byron Bay Community Market
Byron Bay’s original market started in 1987 and is one of the biggest in the area… and they don’t come much more authentic than this one. Held in Byron Bay on the first Sunday of each month plus two special summer markets on the 3rd Sunday in December and January, the market is now in its new home which is in Railway Park and surrounds, Jonson Street.
The Sunday Community market (02 6685 6807) in the heart of town is an eclectic collection of stalls that showcase Byron’s intrinsic authenticity and lively culture, selling an enormous variety of special hand-crafted items, exotic imports, fresh produce and takeaway food. High-quality jewellery, furniture, pottery, skin care products, candles and clothes jostle with plants, garden furniture and sculpture.
Byron Farmers Market
Every Thursday from 7am-11am, the farmers and growers of the area come together for one of the Shire’s most popular Byron Bay markets (6687 1137). All manner of fresh produce, including fruit and vegetables, herbs, free-range eggs, organic coffee, seedlings and plants, fresh beef and pork, smoked fish, cut flowers including spectacular roses, as well as sauces, pickles, muffins, cakes and bread are on sale. Come early as the goods sell out quickly.
Byron Farmers Market is located at the Butler St Reserve, a short stroll from the centre of town, diagonally opposite the Byron Bus Interchange.
Byron Bay Twilight Market
