The Pier Markets

The Pier Markets are a monthly market day held at The Pier, a waterfront shopping and dining centre on Pierpoint Road in Cairns City. Held on the third Sunday of each month, the markets bring together an eclectic mix of stalls featuring local treasures.

Set beside the Marlin Marina, the markets can be combined with the wider Pier precinct, which includes boutique shops, cafés, bars, restaurants and other activities. Visitors can browse the stalls, then stay for a waterfront meal or a relaxed drink, making the event suitable for a casual weekend outing.

The market format is likely to appeal to people looking to discover locally focused goods in an easy-to-reach Cairns setting. Families and groups can also make use of the broader precinct, which includes a family and education-focused koala experience, while solo visitors can browse at their own pace. The available website information does not specify individual stallholders, products or entertainment, so checking the latest event details before visiting is sensible.
