Manly Creative Market

Manly Creative Markets holds the proud distinction of being Brisbane's oldest continuously operating creative-based market, running from the same bayside spot since November 1991. Set in Little Bayside Park on The Esplanade - right beside Manly Pool and the waters of Moreton Bay - the market draws locals, families, and visitors from across the city with its relaxed, eclectic atmosphere and genuinely diverse stall mix. Expect bespoke clothing, jewellery, original art, pottery, timber and metalwork, fabric and paper crafts, glassware, plants, books, and a colourful selection of street food and market eats - plus a rotating cast of live entertainers to soundtrack your browse. Manly Harbour Village itself is a charming seaside precinct just 20 minutes from Brisbane's CBD, and the market fits its character perfectly: unhurried, creative, and firmly community-minded. This is definitively not a flea market - every stallholder represents local and regional creative talent.
