Glendale Farmers & Artisan Market

The Glendale Farmers and Artisan Market runs every Saturday from 8am to 2pm at Glendale City Centre on Stockland Drive. Stalls are set up under the Big White Top next to Target, an all-weather covering that suits a market in a shopping precinct. The market's website says it relocated from Speers Point Park to Glendale and merged with the Glendale Artisan Markets.

Producers, makers and street food

The market lists fresh seasonal produce from local farmers, gourmet foods and artisan bread, boutique wines, handmade and lifestyle products, and street food and coffee. It emphasises buying directly from producers. There is a jumping castle and pony rides for kids, food trucks, shaded seating and plenty of street parking.
