About this market
The Proserpine Community Christmas Market is the Whitsunday region's favourite end-of-year gathering - a chance to tick off your gift list while supporting the local makers, bakers, and crafters who call this corner of Queensland home. Held at the Proserpine Showgrounds, the market brings together local Whitsunday stallholders under one community-run event, making it a genuinely grassroots morning out. The showgrounds setting earns a tick from regular attendees for its easy layout and far better parking than the market's former cyclone shelter venue. Whether you're hunting handmade gifts, indulging in food stalls, or simply soaking up the festive atmosphere, this is a community event worth circling on your December calendar.
