Nestled alongside Deep Creek at Valla Reserve - also known as Lions Park - the Valla Beach Community Markets are a genuine grassroots gathering in one of the Mid North Coast's most serene seaside villages. Run entirely by the Valla Beach Community Association (VBCA), the market is held six times a year on the first Saturday of every even month, bringing together local producers, artists, makers and food vendors in a relaxed beachside atmosphere. Stalls span homemade and home-grown produce, arts and crafts, clothing, plants, and a lively mix of food and coffee options - with live music adding a warm front-porch feel to the whole event. Beyond the stalls, proceeds flow directly back into community projects including the Anderson Park playground, shade structures, sports courts and local infrastructure - so every visit genuinely supports the village.
