About this market
Tanks Markets is the regular Sunday series at Tanks Arts Centre in Edge Hill, along the leafy Promenade beside the Cairns Botanic Gardens. The precinct is a cluster of converted World War II fuel tanks that now host arts, music and community events, so market day has a distinctly creative, tropical feel. Official pages describe a mix of unique art and handmade crafts, fresh produce, vintage finds, collectables, pot plants, natural health products and food vans, often with live music around the venue. Hours are 8:00 am to 1:00 pm on the last Sunday of each month from April to November, with no Sunday market in August. This listing is the daytime series only. Tanks Twilight Markets are a separate night event.
