Taking place all year round, come rain or shine, the Nightcliff Markets offer a fully accessible familyfriendly<br />

experience <strong>and</strong> is always a great day out for locals <strong>and</strong> tourists alike since being established<br />

in 1995 by the Nightcliff Traders Association.<br />

Conveniently located in the original Nightcliff Village, only five minutes from the foreshore precinct,<br />

the markets are open every Sunday between 8am <strong>and</strong> 2pm <strong>and</strong> feature over a hundred stalls with<br />

goods ranging from unique h<strong>and</strong>crafted products, jewellery, artistic wares, natural remedies, preloved<br />

items <strong>and</strong> bric-a-brac, <strong>and</strong> of course, plenty of great food <strong>and</strong> beverage options. Whether<br />

it’s a tropical smoothie, a sweet crepe, a spicy laksa or a barista-brewed coffee, you’re sure to find<br />

something delicious among the range of friendly vendors. Have your tarot cards read, enjoy a<br />

massage, try reflexology or simply do your fresh fruit <strong>and</strong> vegetable shopping for the week while<br />

supporting local traders. Prices are affordable <strong>and</strong> you can even pick up fresh flowers or potted<br />

plants.<br />

The community feel is enriched by free entertainment <strong>and</strong> live music performances, with the<br />

Market providing a space for locals to connect socially <strong>and</strong> discover creative talent, be it buskers,<br />

artists or producers. There is also a playground providing entertainment for the kids to enjoy (<strong>and</strong><br />

respite for the parents!) <strong>and</strong> plenty of seating under shade to relax <strong>and</strong> enjoy your purchases.<br />

The Nightcliff Markets have thrived since their inception <strong>and</strong> continue to offer a relaxed vibe <strong>and</strong> a<br />

friendly <strong>and</strong> welcoming atmosphere that embodies <strong>Darwin</strong>’s well-known br<strong>and</strong> of hospitality. The<br />

Nightcliff Markets are an excellent choice for a casual Sunday stroll among the stalls to pick up a<br />

bargain, grab some great food or simply hang out with family <strong>and</strong> friends.<br />
