Markets of the Northern Rivers
Macadamias and coffee, craft and live music — the region’s famous village and farmers markets, from Byron to Bangalow, and how their days rotate through the month.
Markets of the Northern Rivers
Markets are woven into the rhythm of the Northern Rivers. On any given weekend, a village green somewhere is filling with stalls of macadamias and avocados, coffee and cut flowers, vintage finds and live music. The giants are the sprawling Byron Community Market and the beloved Bangalow Market; the weekly farmers markets at Mullumbimby and Byron are where locals shop for produce. The catch: the big markets rotate through the month, so timing is everything. Here’s how they work.
