The Fremantle Arts Centre’s annual Bazaar (now in its 45th year!) really sets the bar high for what you can come to expect from a market. Perth’s premium makers come out in full force, with bespoke homewares, jewellery, clothing, and heaps more – all in the picturesque surrounds of the centre’s grounds.

Christmas Markets @ Central Park (November 29, December 4-5)

Over two lovely December days (December 4-5) head to Central Park’s lush gardens and enjoy a vibrant array of market stall holders including Christmas gifts for the whole family, artisan foods, fresh produce, food stalls, ice-cream cart, refreshments and even a personalised scented candles and bauble station. The markets run 11am-2:00pm, more info via the Central Park website.

Summer X Salt Christmas Beach Markets (December 7, 14, 21)

We reckon the festive season goes hand in hand with the salty season here in WA, and the Christmas edition of the epic Summer X Salt Markets will definitely tick both boxes! Shaka your way down to Clarko Reserve (just next to the Trigg foreshore) and you’ll be treated to a curated line-up of artists, designers, and tasty food trucks, all with a beach-loving (and earth-loving) ethos.

Side By Side (December 7-8)

Now this market is an absolute treat, featuring the impeccably crafted wares of Kura Studio, Kaki Studio, Do Pottery and Namu Leather Goods. A curated collection of beautiful ceramics, leather, artworks and other wares, we think you’ll find it hard to leave Side By Side empty handed. (They’ll also be serving up coffee and sandwiches by Satchmo Cafe if you’re feeling peckish!)

Boutique Christmas Markets (December 13-15)

Over three days the heart of Perth’s artistic community comes alive as local artisans join forces for a spectacular event – The Boutique Christmas Market, held within the Wilkinson Gallery in the Claremont Showgrounds.
