Let’s go to the markets
Welcome to market mecca!
The Northern Rivers region has some of Australia’s most vibrant and eclectic markets. The area’s creative spirit comes alive against a backdrop of lush hinterland and coastal beauty. These gatherings have become legendary for their distinctly alternative character, blending Byron Bay’s bohemian influence with the region’s deep agricultural roots.
You’ll discover an extraordinary concentration of talented artisans, many of whom have been drawn to the region’s creative energy and lifestyle. From Mullumbimby’s colourful stalls to Bangalow’s heritage-lined marketplace, you’ll encounter everything from traditional Indigenous art to contemporary sustainable fashion, all crafted by makers who call this paradise home.
The markets capture the essence of Northern Rivers culture – a place where organic farmers chat with crystal healers, where traditional craftspeople work alongside innovative designers, and where the local community comes together to celebrate creativity. You’ll find one-of-a-kind jewellery, clothing made from hemp grown in nearby fields, pottery glazed with volcanic materials from Mt Warning, and wooden crafts carved from fallen rainforest timber.
These markets are social hubs where the region’s famous laid-back lifestyle is on full display. Live music from local musicians fills the air, the aroma of locally roasted coffee mingles with sizzling street food, and conversations flow freely between makers and browsers, creating an atmosphere that’s uniquely Northern Rivers. Come and play!
