Nundah Farmers Markets has kept shoppers coming back to Station Street through a global financial crisis and a pandemic, and the organisers say it is now marking 20 years.
According to the organisers, the markets began in 2006. A lot has happened since. The Global Financial Crisis hit, then COVID-19, then a stretch of rising living costs. Through all of it, the markets stayed a fixture on Brisbane’s northside.
The area around the markets looks very different today. Organisers describe Inner North Brisbane as a thriving urban hub that has grown considerably over the past two decades. For a market that has been around that long, that means plenty of new faces in the crowd.
So why does a weekly market still have a place in the neighbourhood? The organisers point to growing interest in seasonal produce and in shopping with the environment in mind, especially among younger people. A market built around local growers and small businesses fits that mood well. It also gives neighbours a regular spot to run into each other.
The anniversary celebration runs on Sunday, 25 October, from 6 a.m. to noon at Station Street, Nundah. Locals are invited to explore the refreshed layout and help mark 20 years of Sunday morning tradition. Entry is free. Anyone who misses the party can still visit, as the markets trade on Sundays from 6 a.m. to noon.
Organisers say the layout has been refreshed, with more shade and seating dotted through the market. Dog owners will find a dedicated Puppy Zone for their four-legged friends. Younger visitors can get their faces painted or watch balloons twisted into shapes. Live music and roving entertainment round out the morning, alongside the local flavours the markets are known for.
As Nundah Farmers Markets heads into its third decade, the aim stays the same. Supporting local businesses and celebrating the best of South-East Queensland remain at the heart of what the markets do.
