One of the best ways to tap into the culture of any city is by visiting their local markets. The markets Auckland city centre offer don’t stop at fresh produce and general essentials, but also cover local arts and crafts, delicious food and beverages - here are the ones to add to your must-visit list.
Silo Park Night Markets | North Wharf, Wynyard Quarter | From 3pm Saturday & Sunday
Filled with a mouth-watering array of delicious food, these night markets make for an awesome evening activity in the city centre. Wander down aisle of vendors selling next-level eats from around the world, including tacos, dumplings, smash burgers, curries, kebabs and so much more. And be sure to leave room for dessert so you can indulge in some seriously epic sweet treats, think churros, croffles, chocolate covered strawberries and crepes, to name a few.
Silo Park Night Markets have added an additional evening to their weekly schedule! You can now find them every Saturday & Sunday from 3pm-11pm at Silo Park.
Last Thursday Markets | Freyberg Square & Ellen Melville Centre | 4pm-7.30pm on the last Thursday of every month
This vibrant monthly market hosted byCelestial Corner reflects the city's rich creative culture, featuring an array of stalls from local makers.
