Heritage Village Christmas Markets

Each festive season the Rockhampton Heritage Village becomes the setting for one of the largest market events in the Rockhampton Region. This twilight market has a nostalgic, family-friendly feel, with local food, live music and more than 160 stalls spread across the historic village grounds. The focus is on handmade, locally crafted and quality products from stallholders across Central Queensland, including home-baked goods, candles, jewellery, leatherwork, woodwork, clothing, children's games, mini figurines and models. Early arrivals can ride the village's vintage vehicles while there is still daylight. The market is part of the Christmas Starts Here Event Trail and is run by Rockhampton Regional Council at its council-owned heritage museum. It is a good place to find unique gifts and support local businesses.
