Palmerston Markets

Palmerston Markets is a cherished institution of the Northern Territory's dry season, running every Friday evening from the first Friday in May through to the last Friday in October. Set in Goyder Square at the heart of Palmerston's CBD, the market shares its home with thousands of Rainbow Lorikeets and serves as a vibrant community gathering place for locals and visitors alike.

What makes Palmerston Markets truly special is its multicultural soul - stallholders and their families trace roots to Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, Italy, Greece, the Philippines, Australia, England and beyond, creating a warm, inclusive atmosphere that reflects the rich diversity of the greater Palmerston community. Expect live multicultural dancers, country and western bands, mainstream acts and a DJ keeping the kids entertained with music, games and competitions alongside a colourful mix of fresh local produce, hot and cold food, arts, crafts, plants and wellness services.
