Byron Bay Markets: The Complete Guide 2022
Head to one of Byron’s magical markets for the finest locally-made products and produce, delicious food, and live music.
A trip to any of the Byron Bay markets is the quickest way to get a real flavour of Byron – in every sense of the word. You’ll find super-fresh organic produce at the weekly farmers market and heaps of unique products at the artisan and community markets.
From boho clothing and handcrafted jewellery to sustainable homeware and natural beauty products, it’s hard to resist going home with something you didn’t plan to buy!
Happily, though, you can feel good about those impulse purchases. The Byron Community Market and artisan markets are run by the Byron Bay Community Association (BBCA), a not-for-profit social enterprise that supports Byron’s most vulnerable residents.
So grab your bags – here’s everything you need to know before you go.

Byron Community Market
1st Sunday of the month (plus 3rd Sunday in January), 8 am – 3 pm
Grabbing a coffee and spending a leisurely morning exploring Byron Bay Community Market is one of our favourite things to do. Running since 1987, the Community Market is a great place to browse stalls selling unique products spanning locally made arts and crafts, handmade jewellery, clothing, and more, alongside local musicians and food vendors.
The market starts between Byron Bay Surf Club and Dening Park and extends all the way to Clarkes Beach. You can easily walk from the centre of town or park near the surf club, at Clarkes Beach car park, or along Lawson Street.

Four times a year, during the school holidays, local artisans set up their stalls in front of Main Beach to sell unique and original products.
