Shopping and Food at Cairns Night Markets

Cairns Night Market is a busy indoor marketplace with loads of different stalls selling a range of locally made arts and crafts, clothing, jewellery, leather products and local goods from the North Queensland region. Open every night of the week starting from 4.30pm through to 10.30pm. As well as good shopping there is loads of food to enjoy.

The Cairns Night Markets are located in the heart of Cairns between the Esplanade and Abbott Street (See map below). There are entrances at both ends, with a large food court at the entrance of the Esplanade, just opposite the Cairns Lagoon, and small take away food shops at the entrance of Abbott Street. The food court is open from 10am so can go there for late breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Some of the best items to buy are the arts and crafts by local artists. There is also a great selection of products from Aboriginal First Nation peoples, products like decorative digeridoos and boomerangs. A great gift to take home.
