Ripley Markets

For a relaxed afternoon out with the family – and the family pooch! – Ripley Markets ticks a lot of boxes. The market brings a colourful swathe of stalls and food vendors to Providence Ripley from 3-8pm on the second Saturday of every month. And while there is something here for everyone, a lot of the focus is on food, glorious food! You’ll find an ever-rotating band of food trucks proferring everything from Karaage Chicken, Japanese hotdogs and hot wings to fresh and healthy Mexican favourites and sweet treats like those irresistible little pancakes, poffertjes, loaded with good things. A range of crafty homewares, clothing and art stalls round out the offering of at least 60 stalls each month at this relaxed market which the Ripley community has come out in force to support in its first two years. The picture is completed with live music and visitors can kick back on the grass to enjoy the tunes and a breezy bite for dinner. This is a dog-friendly market in a space that connects to an off-leash park.
