About Palmerston Markets
Welcome to Palmerston Markets, a beloved institution located in Palmerston City, Australia. As a non-profit association, the Palmerston & Rural Markets Association has been serving the community for over 36 years. Every Friday night from the end of April until the end of October, the markets come alive with a vibrant array of stalls and activities.
Situated in the heart of Palmerston's CBD, the markets are conveniently located in Goyder Square, just a stone's throw away from the Palmerston Shopping Centre and a short stroll from the main bus interchange. This central location makes it easily accessible for locals and visitors alike.
Operating during the top end's beautiful dry season, the Palmerston Markets offer a delightful experience for the whole family. Goyder Square, the center of activity, is not only a hub for markets but also a home to thousands of Rainbow Lorikeets, adding a touch of nature to the bustling atmosphere.
Every Friday evening, the markets provide live entertainment that caters to diverse tastes. From multicultural dancers to country and western bands, mainstream acts, and a DJ playing kids' favorite tunes, there's something for everyone. Clowns also take the stage, delighting the audience with games, competitions, and plenty of prizes to be won.
The market stalls themselves mirror the vibrant diversity of the Palmerston and rural area community. With origins from various countries including Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, Italy, Greece, Philippines, Australia, England, and more, the markets showcase a harmonious blend of cultures. Over 60 stalls offer an impressive range of goods and services, including delicious hot food, refreshing drinks, tempting desserts, fresh produce, art, handicrafts, kids' rides, novelty items, jewelry, plants, and even body massages. The relaxed atmosphere of the Palmerston Markets ensures an enjoyable evening for the entire family.
If you're interested in becoming a stallholder, the Palmerston Markets offer various options for trading goods and services. However, stalls intending to sell foodstuffs must provide a copy of a health permit and insurance at a minimum. Stall applications will be available around February-March 2023.

Reviews of Palmerston Markets
"Parking can be a problem but there are areas to park if you don't mind a good walk. Great atmosphere and a variety of stalls"
"It's a good market if you are living in Palmerston. There are alot of veggie sellers and food stalls who also selling in other markets in the Northern suburbs, hence if you are already in Darwin / as a tourist is not worth it to come all the way to Palmerston. There are some unique stalls can't be found anywhere else such as the Vietnamese noodle/congee, fresh fish seller, etc. There are plenty of stalls, about the same size as Parap market. It's best to come here before sunset as the food is still fresh and there's not much anti social behaviour. Plenty of parking and security guards. Live music and grass area for picnics."
"Felt safe here with security and policed.. people were well behaved, I actually had a stall here for one evening and enjoyed it.."
"Lots of stall with hand-made accessories, snacks and food. And there is a mini-stage having a LIVE band show on every Friday night."
