Markets in Canberra

Canberra's markets are concentrated and reliable in a way that suits the city. The main farmers markets run weekly and early, drawing producers from the surrounding tablelands and the south coast, and the handmade and craft markets run to a regular published calendar rather than an improvised one.

Cold mornings are the local hazard

Winter starts here are genuinely cold and the markets still run. Producers turn up regardless, and the early hour is when the range is best, so the practical advice is layers rather than a later arrival.
