Cooktown Markets are held every Saturday morning in the shady parkland along the picturesque Endeavour River. Enjoy the relaxed market atmosphere in a stunning setting where everyone mingles, choosing from some of the Cape York Peninsula's finest fresh produce. Sweet sensations include locally grown passionfruits, while bananas, mangoes and more are all eagerly sought after. Organic growers offer a range of fresh farm and garden produce including jams, honey, dried fruit and chutneys.
Locally made Handicrafts, natural soaps, creams, jewellery, trinkets and second hand goods fill colourful stalls with laid back locals ready for a chat as they display their wares. See our Art in the Park page for more info.
