Byron Community Centre

Byron Community Centre connects visitors with a group of established markets across Byron Bay and the Northern Rivers. Its market programme includes the Byron Community Market, Byron Beachside Market and Byron Twilight Market, with the Lennox Community Market also listed under the Byron Markets banner. Together, they offer a way to browse local products, handmade goods, food, music and creative work in outdoor settings.

The Byron Community Market takes place at Main Beach and has been running since 1987, bringing together stalls that reflect Byron’s local character and culture. The Beachside Market is described as a handmade artisan market focused on products that are made, baked, sewn or grown, while the Twilight Market at Railway Park creates an evening setting for artists, designers, healers, producers and musicians. These markets suit visitors looking for local finds, as well as small businesses wanting to meet customers directly.

The markets are part of the independent, self-funded Byron Community Centre, a not-for-profit organisation with a long history of community support. Market activity helps support local businesses and musicians, while the broader centre also runs community services, Byron Theatre and spaces for hire. It is a useful stop for solo visitors, families and groups wanting to explore local makers, food and live music, with different market formats offering a daytime, beachside or evening experience.
