Your Guide to Weekend Markets in Manly: Farm, Art, and Food

Manly is offering residents and visitors a unique variety of community shopping experiences, with three different markets providing everything from fresh farm produce to artisan crafts and street food.



A Weekend of Choice

The suburb is reinforcing its reputation as a bayside destination with a market for every taste. Locals can now choose between farm-fresh goods, creative local arts, or a new evening food event. These markets aim to connect shoppers directly with producers and artists in a vibrant, community-focused setting.

The popular Jan Powers Farmers Markets bring a “paddock-to-plate” connection to Little Bayside Park. According to event details, the markets are held on the first and third Saturday of each month from 6:00 am to 12:00 pm. Shoppers can browse stalls from passionate producers offering premium-quality regional produce against the backdrop of Manly Harbour.

Creative Sundays

The following day, the same location at Little Bayside Park transforms for the Manly Creative Markets. This event runs every Sunday from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm. Organisers describe it as an alternative retail outlet for local talent, stressing that it is not a flea market. Visitors can find a wide range of artisan wares, arts and crafts, plants, and fashion.

Disney’s “Up” is a story about a 78-year-old widower, Carl Fredricksen, who travels to his ultimate bucket list destination, South America, by tying thousands of balloons to his house. Carl hopes to fulfill a promise he made to his late wife, Ellie. 

But he unexpectedly brings along Russel, an eager Boy Scout, and his dog for an unforgettable adventure together. The film was nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards in 2009.
