The Redcliffe markets are one of the best-loved weekend rituals on the Moreton Bay coast, a relaxed, waterfront morning of fresh produce, local makers, street food and live music, all with the bay as a backdrop. If you’re planning a visit (or a stay nearby), here’s everything you need to know.
When are the Redcliffe markets on?
The main Redcliffe Jetty Markets run every Sunday morning, year-round, typically from around 8am to early afternoon. They go ahead rain or shine, so it’s an easy plan for any Sunday of your stay. (Times can shift around public holidays, it’s worth a quick check before you head down.)
Where are the Redcliffe markets held?
You’ll find them along Redcliffe Parade, right on the waterfront near the Redcliffe Jetty. The setting is half the appeal: stalls line the foreshore with uninterrupted views across Moreton Bay, and the beach, jetty and cafés are all a few steps away.
What can you find at the markets?
- Fresh local produce, fruit, vegetables, flowers and bay-fresh seafood
- Handmade goods, art, jewellery, homewares and gifts from local makers
- Street food & coffee, from breakfast rolls to international bites and great barista coffee
- Live music and a genuinely friendly, family-and-dog-friendly atmosphere
It’s an easy couple of hours: grab a coffee, browse the stalls, and finish with a walk along the jetty.
Parking and getting there
There’s street and public parking around Redcliffe Parade, but it fills fast on Sunday mornings, arrive earlier (before 9am) for the easiest spot, or walk or cycle in if you’re staying close by. The Moreton Bay Cycleway runs right along the foreshore.
