Old Petrie Town Markets
Where History Meets Local Treasures
The Old Petrie Town Markets are one of the largest and most well-known weekly markets in the Moreton Bay region, held every Sunday at the historic Old Petrie Town. Combining a traditional country market atmosphere with fresh produce, street food, live entertainment, and local businesses, the markets have become a regular weekend destination for locals and visitors alike.
Set within a heritage-listed village, the markets offer a unique experience that blends history with a modern market atmosphere. Visitors can wander through historic buildings, explore market stalls, listen to live music, and enjoy food from around the world — all in one location.

The markets are known for supporting small and local businesses, giving many local makers and food vendors a place to sell directly to the community.
One of the reasons the Old Petrie Town Markets are so popular is that they are more than just a shopping destination. Every Sunday, the markets have a lively atmosphere with entertainment and activities for all ages.
A major attraction is the miniature train ride that runs through Old Petrie Town, which is especially popular with families and children. There is also live music most weekends, creating a relaxed and social atmosphere where visitors can sit, eat, and enjoy the surroundings.
The historic streets and old buildings add to the experience, giving the markets a country-town feel that makes it different from many modern markets held in car parks or open fields.
