About this market
For more than 30 years, the Green Ant Christmas Craft Fair has been where Darwin locals start their Christmas shopping. Over two days, 150+ stalls of Northern Territory makers fill large air-conditioned halls with handmade jewellery, ceramics, textiles, body products, artwork, sculpture, toys and homewares. Emerging young creatives sit alongside long-established artisans, and many pieces draw on Top End landscapes, wildlife and culture. With food and drink options and face-painting for the kids, it feels like a community celebration as well as a gift hunt, and every purchase supports small Territory businesses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the fair indoors?
Yes. Stalls are set up inside large air-conditioned spaces at the Territory Netball Stadium, so it is a comfortable shop even in late-November heat.
Is there food at the fair?
Yes. The organisers list food and drink options alongside the craft stalls.
What kinds of things can I buy?
Locally handmade jewellery, ceramics, textiles, body products, artwork, sculptures, toys and homewares, nearly all made by Northern Territory artisans.
Does Green Ant run other markets?
Yes. The same organisers run the Green Ant Craft Fair by the Sea at Darwin Ski Club in the Dry season, and a new Austin Lane sunset craft market with Darwin Festival. These are separate events at different venues.
