The spring school holidays are here, and Mullumbimby Farmers Market is bursting with colour, flavour, and excitement. It’s the perfect spot to spend your Friday morning – whether you’re tackling the weekly shop, entertaining the kids, or soaking up the festive community spirit that makes Mullum so special.
Kick things off with breakfast, where the choices are as diverse as they are delicious. From Japanese hand-rolled sushi with tempting weekly specials, to Taiwanese dumplings, fragrant Indonesian meals, flaky croissants, and sweet French crêpes, there’s something to delight every palate. Vegan-friendly options are plentiful, best paired with a fresh juice, smoothie, cold-pressed cane juice, or matcha. For something extra nourishing, try a probiotic drink to boost your gut health, or simply enjoy a smooth barista coffee. With so much on offer, a morning at Mullum Farmers Market feels like a global food journey.
For families, the Kids Plot is the ultimate holiday hangout. This dedicated space is set up with picnic mats, tables, and chairs, making it easy for parents to relax while the kids dive into fun activities. Little ones can get creative with crafts and face-painting, while the talented team from Spaghetti Circus will be on hand to teach budding performers some circus skills.
The market is also the easiest place to do your weekly shopping. Stock up on farm-fresh fruit and vegetables, gourmet staples, ready-to-go meals, and healthy snacks – all grown, or made, by local producers. And for a treat, don’t miss Monty’s chocolate-dipped strawberries or icy poles coated in rich chocolate, always a holiday favourite.
With delicious food, family-friendly entertainment, live local music, and the best seasonal produce, Mullumbimby Farmers Market is the ultimate spring holiday destination. Come for the essentials, stay for the fun, and take home both treats and memories.
Mullumbimby Farmers Market is on every Friday from 7am to 11am at Mullumbimby Showgrounds.
