This year for Floriade About Town, The Little Burley Market is bringing a celebration of Spring to the popular monthly market on October 4.
Uniquely located on Queen Elizabeth Terrace along the picturesque waterfront, the market is within walking distance (or a fun boat ride) to Floriade itself, offering the perfect vantage point for Canberra’s breathtaking lake views.
From 9am until 2pm, visitors to the market will find a delightful array of Spring themed hand crafted and designed products, ranging from garden art and nature photography to crochet flowers and floral fashion!
With live local music, performances and interactive activations, The Little Burley Floriade Market is an event suited to the whole family! The kids will be entertained with free arts and crafts activities, plus facepainting by the fantastic team from Funny Fantasy Parties. Relax with a delicious bite to eat, by the lakeside, soaking up the market atmosphere and stunning lakefront views.
The Little Burley Market is held on the first Saturday of each month on the scenic shores of Lake Burley Griffin. Designed to showcase the best of the region’s makers, foodies, and creatives, the market offers a thoughtfully curated mix of high-quality stalls in a relaxed lakeside setting.
From 9am until 2pm, visitors can explore an ever-changing range of locally produced goods, including handmade jewellery, ceramics, original artworks, fashion, freshly baked pastries and more! The market proudly supports small businesses and independent producers, bringing together a vibrant community of local talent every month.
With multicultural street food, chef-crafted desserts, and live local music, The Little Burley Market offers
more than just shopping—it’s an experience. Arts and crafts activities, facepainting, workshops and
demonstrations add to the market’s family-friendly atmosphere, making it a popular destination for
locals and tourists alike. It is the perfect place to stop after a walk or bike ride, enjoy brunch with friends and family, or find a quintessentially Canberran gift.
Positioned against the iconic backdrop of Lake Burley Griffin, the market has quickly become a must-visit event, celebrated for its welcoming atmosphere, quality offerings, and scenic charm.
