Set within the coastal surrounds of Dixon Park, Merewether Markets brings together a curated mix of local makers, creatives, and food vendors – all just steps from the beach.

With around 40 stalls, the market is small, vibrant, and buzzing. 

You’ll find everything from handcrafted treasures and unique designs to delicious food and drinks, all made by talented local artists and businesses. 

Discover vendors like Newy Surf Co., Murrays Beach Candle Co., Boho Coast, Zaniboda, and The Market Basket Co. showcasing their coastal-inspired, sustainable creations.
