Events

Redcliffe Markets often host special events to celebrate a wide range of holidays, from the quirky to the extraordinary. Keep an eye on our calendar for upcoming events that add an extra layer of fun to your visit. It’s a great way to experience the market’s festive spirit and support local artisans and vendors.

It’s a Community

It’s worth noting that many stall operators are small, independent businesses that don’t operate from a storefront, so finding them at a local market is the only way to get a good look at their wares. Follow your favourites on social media so you know when they will attend.

The market is always looking for new stalls to join the squad so you may notice changes in the week-to-week attendees. If you are a local maker, baker, seller, or grower looking to take your business to the next level or get your name out there, think about signing up for a stall of your own.

It’s also a great opportunity for local musicians who want to get their name out there and get more opportunities to perform for a crowd.
