Events September 2010

Broome Courthouse Markets

Date: Saturdays all year round. Sundays April to October 2010

Venue: Broome Courthouse Gardens - Crn Frederick Street and Hamersley Street, Broome

The Broome Courthouse Markets have been operating in the heritage grounds of the historic Broome Courthouse for more than 20 years.

 

The market operates all year on a Saturday and on Sundays from April to October. The markets are open from 8am - 1pm on these days.

 

Products include fresh produce, photography, honey, preserves, indigenous and contemporary art, many hand-crafts, clothing, jewellery and a diverse range of freshly cooked food. Buskers entertain the crowds with music and performance. The relaxed atmosphere, shady trees and lawned areas make the Courthouse Markets the ideal place for visitors and locals to mix and sample the quality and range of products available from the local area.

 

The Committee also operates the Moon Market twice a month at Town Beach to coincide with the Staircase to the Moon phenomenon. This night market is another opportunity to sample the tastes of Broome cuisine and choose from the diverse range of products available while enjoying the spectacle of the Moon rising over Roebuck Bay. The Staircase to the Moon occurs between March and October.
