PARRAMATTA’S famous Farmers Markets at Centenary Square are back with a mix of new stallholders and regular favourites bringing some mid-week buzz to the CBD.
Traditionally held on a Friday, the Farmers Markets will be operating every Wednesday as part of a five-week trial, from 24 November to 22 December between 7.30am and 2.30pm.
Parramatta Farmers Markets regularly showcases a variety of seasonal produce from the Sydney basin and regional NSW including fresh fruits, vegetables, bread, honey, pastries, and flowers, as well as a selection of fresh and delicious street food – perfect for a quick bite.
With the festive season approaching, there will also be plenty of unique gifts on offer from local businesses.
“It is exciting to welcome back the Parramatta Farmers Markets as we see more people, particularly workers, return to the CBD,” City of Parramatta Lord Mayor Cr Steven Issa said.
“With the festive season almost here, it’s the perfect time to visit. There’s always a buzz in Centenary Square when the Parramatta Farmers Markets are on so I encourage everyone to visit and support our local growers and food producers, and small businesses.”
