Although the
Byron Bay Markets
are the most well known of the local area markets, there are many more to choose from. The ever popular weekend markets are well worth checking out in some of the neighbouring villages.
As well as the weekend markets, there are also regular
Farmers Markets
. Many of these are a weekly event and well worth checking out.

*There's a certain charm and 'Old World' sensibility to markets and the sense of community and belonging it can bring to a region. There's an indefinable quality and magic that you just can't get with big shopping centres, internet shopping and the modern way, no matter how convenient it might be, not to mention how fresh the produce is and how much cheaper than at the local supermarket. So help keep that spirit alive by supporting your local markets next time they're on.
