There’s a million and one reasons to visit some of Perth’s markets as we approach the end of the year – delicious food trucks, Perth’s artisans showing off their products, and of course, the giving season is right around the corner.
A low-cost hangout and third space is exactly what we’re looking for as the weather turns around to give us those warm summer nights – and if you’re looking to shop ‘til you drop, there’s room for that too.
A few amazing market seasons have launched for summer, and some are just wrapping up for the year, waiting on quarterly returns. We even have an annual market on our list that runs only once a year! Check out our must-visit list of markets to cross off before the year ends below.
1. Subi Night Market
Every Saturday evening, September – April, 5pm – 9pm
With the return of Subi Night Markets this September, there has never been a more accessible Euro summer.
Market Square turns into a hub of activity every Saturday evening, with enough food and retail stalls to keep you busy for hours. When you’re done browsing, there’s more than enough room to catch up with mates for a picnic.
Subi Night Markets bring the charm of European village squares right to your doorstep, and they’re conveniently located next to Subiaco Train Station, making these markets a must for 2025.
2. Summer x Salt Markets
1st and 3rd Saturdays, October – March (with bonuses!), 8am – 1pm
Summer x Salt is an award-winning beachside marketplace at Clarko Reserve, Trigg, featuring a curated lineup of live music, food trucks, artists and designers.
Not only are the markets thriving, but there are free community events running alongside them– kid’s workshops, yoga, pilates, meditation and morning swims.
Summer x Salt prides itself on its community support and sustainable focus. Since 2016, they have launched over 2500 small businesses and creatives, and is Australia’s first plastic-free and zero-waste market.
Why not support the planet and WA small business and pay a visit? Head online to see which bonus dates they’re running before the year is over.
