If you want to know where the locals shop for the best local designs and holiday souvenirs, you’ll find them at these markets;
Burleigh Heads Art and Craft Markets
Let’s begin with the city’s oldest art and craft market. It’s been over 30 years since the Burleigh Heads Art and Craft Markets first opened their doors. The market has attracted many locals and visitors since its inception.
Pop over to Justin’s Park off The Esplanade, approximately a 7-10 min walk – if you wish to be included in that list. The Burleigh Art and Craft Market stretches from 1st to 3rd Avenue, containing over 100 stalls. So get ready for an excellent shopping adventure, and don’t forget to bring your eco friendly bag. Locally made arts, crafts, fashion, jewellery, and skincare are available at the market. Fresh produce, preserves, cookies, cakes, and homewares are also available. There is something for everyone.
The market has a COVID safe strategy to ensure you enjoy a pleasant shopping experience. The Burleigh Art and Craft Markets are open every last Sunday of the month, weather permitting, from 8 AM to 2 PM.
