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.
Farm-Fresh Saturdays
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.
New Twilight Evenings
A brand-new summer series, the Twilight Market on Cambridge, is also launching. The first event is set for Friday, 7 November, from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm. This evening market will take place along Cambridge Parade, featuring a lively atmosphere with craft stalls, food trucks, live music, and local dining options, offering a perfect way to spend a Friday night by the bay.
