Why it's worth checking out
The Pier Markets brings a regular market-day experience to The Pier on Cairns’ waterfront. Held on the third Sunday of each month, the event features an eclectic mix of stalls showcasing local treasures.
Set within The Pier’s shopping and dining centre beside the Marlin Marina, the markets can be combined with time exploring the centre’s boutique shops, cafés, bars and waterfront venues. The surrounding precinct also offers views across the marina and a range of other activities, making it a convenient stop for a relaxed Sunday outing.
With its changing selection of stallholders, The Pier Markets suits visitors looking to browse local finds in a waterfront setting. The website does not provide a detailed stall list, so checking the event information before visiting is sensible if you are looking for a particular type of product.
