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.
Central Flea | Takutai Square, Britomart | Sunday 24 November, 9AM-2PM
Beloved second-hand and vintage market, the iconic Central Flea is coming to Auckland city centre this November! Any Auckland-based treasure-hunter will have heard of Central Flea, one of Auckland's biggest secondhand markets, that usually happens at Junk & Disorderly in Mount Eden. But now the market is on the move, coming to Britomart's Takutai Square for one day only! This event will showcase some of Auckland’s best second-hand vendors as well as an expanded offering of local creatives and makers!
