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 feature a large variety of stalls, making them one of the most diverse markets in the Moreton Bay area. Stall categories typically include:

Fresh Produce

• Locally grown fruit and vegetables
• Farm eggs
• Honey and preserves
• Herbs and plants

Food & Drink

• Hot breakfast and brunch stalls
• International street food
• Fresh baked goods
• Desserts and sweets
• Coffee and cold drinks

Local & Handmade Goods

• Handmade crafts and gifts
• Homewares and décor
• Candles and skincare products
• Clothing and accessories
• Artwork and photography

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.
