Whether you’re after a gift for a friend, a bite to eat, or just a casual stroll and a browse, you’re bound to find what you’re looking for at one of Perth's local markets. So we're helping you satisfy all your stall-hopping cravings, with a round up of all the best night markets, farmers markets, beachside markets and everything in between.
Scope out this list of the best markets in Perth this month and beyond.
Night Markets
Scarborough Sunset Markets Winter Edition
152 The Esplanade, Scarborough WA 6019
When the sun goes down, Scarborough lights up. Every Saturday night through winter, the foreshore transforms into a bustling beachside bazaar with up to 50 food trucks and market stalls wrapping around the iconic Clocktower and spilling up the promenade.
You’ll find sorts of toasty winter warmers to warm you up from the inside out. Think bubbling curries, spicy ramen, gooey raclette, and hot sugary doughnuts, plus cosy fire pits where you can toast marshmallows and thaw out between bites.

- Parking can be punishing, we recommend either getting in early and catching PT
- Rug up—sea breeze can bite
Gather & Gourmet
Supreme Court Gardens, 2 Barrack Street, Perth, Western Australia, 6000
With just three dates locked in for the year, Gather & Gourmet is one of those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it night markets that’s well worth pencilling into your calendar.
Having only launched in 2023, it's one of the younger markets in Perth, but with the city skyline and Bell Tower glittering in the background, it's got one of the best atmospheres. I stumbled across it by accident last summer and was blown away by the 80+ food trucks and stalls, local musicians, free workshops and immaculate energies at the Supreme Court Gardens.
There's still two more chances to experience it for yourself, so put Saturday, 30 August and Saturday, 8 November in the calendar now.

- Check the forecast before you venture into town, this one is entirely outdoors
- It's dog-friendly!
Farmers Markets
Fremantle Markets
South Terrace & Henderson St, Fremantle WA 6160
Step through the grand old gates of Fremantle Markets and you'll be swept into a glorious, chaotic tangle of history, hustle and handmade goods. Operating since 1897, this iconic market is a magnet for both wide-eyed tourists shopping for souvenirs and boho jewellery and savvy locals stocking up on farm-fresh produce and vintage finds.
It's a feast for all five senses: there's the savoury scent of burek wafting through the hall, the shout of stallholders spruiking their wares and buskers just outside entertaining the masses.
It's never not busy, but that's all part of the charm. Elbowing your way through the hungry punters to nab a croissant bahn mi from Viet Kiets while dodging a kid covered in face paint is practically a rite of passage for Freo locals. Whether you’re a market native or a first-timer, there is always something new to buy or eat. So lace up your walking shoes, grab your wallet and prepare your stomach because this little piggy is off to the markets.
INSIDER INTEL
- Freo Market is open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 9am - 6pm
- There's an old-school photo booth tucked away near the back of the market so you can snap a strip of nostalgia on your visit
- Swing by after 5pm on Sundays for bargain bin prices on fruit and veg
Perth City Farm
1 City Farm Pl, East Perth WA 6004
Escape the concrete jungle and step into Perth City Farm’s leafy Saturday sanctuary. This laid-back market brings the best in organic and spray-free fruit and veg to the city, along with loads of other tasty goods to fill your tummies and pantry. We’re talking fresh-baked bread, wild-caught seafood, local honey and even homemade bathroom goods.
Earlier this year, a café that’s as conscious as the market itself opened, with Be Free officially planting roots within the big, bright space. I like to grab a coffee in the market, fill my basket with plenty of fruit, vegetables, eggs and the best olive oil you can find outside of the Mediterranean, and then sit down at Be Free for brunch with my bounty. It's a dreamy way to spend a Saturday morning, and you sure do feel smug shopping sustainably and eating seasonally.
INSIDER INTEL
- You've gotta be quick here, Perth City Farm is only open from 8am - 12pm on Saturdays
- There are regular (and free!) social groups where you can knit, play cheese and more with likeminded individuals
Subi Farmers Market
Subiaco Primary School, 271 Bagot Rd, Subiaco WA 6008
I could be showing my age here, but it was a dark, dark day when Subi's Station Street markets closed in 2015 after 30 years of trade. Thankfully, Subi Farmers Market was there to fill the organic-shaped hole in our hearts, and it's doing a damn fine job. Every Saturday morning, the grounds of Subiaco Primary School come alive with stallholders slinging fresh local produce, gourmet bites, coffee, flowers and canine‑approved treats for your furry shopping assistant.
Having first launched in 2009, this sunny market is all about community. With a bag full of fruit and baked treats, you'll find yourself striking up a conversation with a stallholder, patting a stranger's dog, and bopping along to the buskers with other admirers. It's wholesome Saturday morning magic right in the heart of Subi.
INSIDER INTEL
- Early birds get the worm at Subi Farmers Market—it's only open from 8am - 12pm each Saturday
- There's a big playground and oval for the kids to let off some steam while you shop up a storm
Kyilla Community Farmers Market
Kyilla Park, Clieveden St &, Union St, North Perth WA 6006
Hidden just off Walcott Street, this dog-friendly, community-based market is your one-stop-shop to fill your fridge, pantry and cup. There's a huge number of stalls with everything you need to set yourself up for the week. From crisp fruit and vibrant veg to free-range meats, golden honey and bunches of flowers that’ll brighten up even the gloomiest Saturdays, Kyilla’s market is where North Perth comes together to shop small and live large.
Last time I was there, there was a stall by Swan Valley's family-owned, vegan-friendly winery Caravino. The wine makers were incredibly generous with their knowledge, time and tasting pours, taking us through their delicious drops. Breakfast wines at Kyilla, sanctioned.
INSIDER INTEL
- Kyilla Community Farmers Market is open every Saturday from 8am - 11.30am

Makers Markets
Perth Hills Artisan Markets
Mundaring Arena, 50 Mundaring Weir Rd, Mundaring WA 6073
Forget mass-produced and made-in-China, this is where handmade reigns supreme. The Perth Hills Artisan Markets are a vibrant celebration of all things crafted, carved, stitched, painted and baked by local creatives who know their stuff.
Held indoors at the Mundaring Arena (hello, all-weather shopping), it’s one of the biggest and best showcases of WA talent, with everything from moody ceramics and quirky prints to small-batch chutneys and next-level baked treats. You’ll wander past woodworkers, jewellers, potters and soap-makers, all slinging one-of-a-kind wares with a smile and a story.
INSIDER INTEL
- Put the last Sunday of every month (9:30am - 3pm) in your calendar
- Bring a big ol' tote, this is the biggest indoor market in the Hills and you've only got two hands
Perth Upmarket
UWA, 35 Stirling Hwy, Crawley WA 6009
It might only roll around four times a year, but Perth Upmarket is well worth the wait. Held inside the grand, cathedral-like Winthrop Hall at UWA (seriously, it’s worth going just to ogle the ceilings), this elegant affair brings together over 180 of WA’s best designers, makers, artists and foodies for a shopping experience that feels more boutique than backyard.
There’s everything from handcrafted jewellery and minimalist ceramics to slow fashion, homewares, gourmet condiments and artisan chocolate that’s almost too pretty to eat (almost). It’s my go-to for gift shopping, with enough stalls to knock out birthdays, baby showers and Christmas in one swoop. I usually aim for the November edition, so there's less time to ‘accidentally’ keep everyone’s Chrissy gifts for myself.
INSIDER INTEL
- Come early (closer to 10am) or late (after 2pm) to avoid the peak midday crowds
- About 80% of the market is undercover, so don’t let a rainy forecast put you off
- The next markets are locked in for 14 September and 16 November—mark your calendar
Heathcote Sunday Markets by Perth Makers Market
Goolugatup Heathcote, 58 Duncraig Rd, Applecross WA 6153
Markets with a view? Yes please. Held on the lush, riverfront grounds of Goolugatup Heathcote Reserve, this dreamy Sunday event combines scenic strolls with serious shopping. Hosted by the crew behind Perth Makers Market, it features over 150 stalls of handcrafted goods by local creatives.
It's one of my all-time fave spots to scoop up some beautiful locally made arts and crafts. The lush riverside setting, solid food lineup and awesome pirate ship playground also makes this a great activity for anyone heading out with kids in tow.
INSIDER INTEL
- It's open from 9:30am - 3:30pm about once a month, but check the website for exact dates
- Bring a picnic rug and make a day of it, the riverside setting is too pretty to rush
- The pirate ship playground is iconic, so expect a solid crowd of tiny captains on board
Brookfield Place Markets
125 St Georges Terrace, Perth WA 6000
Injecting even more buzz into the CBD, the Brookfield Place Markets have evolved into a monthly, three-day event that’s perfect for breaking up your midweek grind. From artisan wares and handmade homewares to fashion, florals and gourmet goodies, it’s a curated celebration of WA’s best small businesses, right in the heart of the city.
Running from Tuesday to Thursday, each edition brings a fresh rotation of stallholders to the heritage-lined precinct. Once you’ve made your rounds, stick around for a bite or drink at one of Brookfield Place’s stellar venues—Print Hall, Bar Lafayette and Papi Katsu are always a good idea.

You’ll find a hefty lineup of WA makers across all kinds of disciplines—woodworkers, ceramicists, jewellers, gourmet food producers, painters, winemakers and more—taking over the space with beautifully crafted, small-batch goodies.
Be sure to check out the “Mini Jams” section, featuring young vendors under 18 showing off their creative chops. Just look out for their special logo and show some support to the next gen of local makers.
