Best Markets in Townsville: Fresh Produce and Weekend Stalls

Townsville's market scene has grown alongside its population and increasing foodie culture. The Cotters Market on The Strand foreshore runs on the first Sunday morning of the month (May to October) and is the city's most popular community market event, with produce, craft, street food and live music in a waterfront setting. The Riverside Night Markets near the Strand operate periodically through the dry season on Friday and Saturday evenings. Northtown Centro Shopping Centre and various community halls host local produce and artisan markets through the year. The Townsville Farmers Market at Rupertswood Park at Mundingburra is a regular weekday option for fresh local produce. Checking local community listings for current dates and locations is recommended, as some markets are seasonal.
