Mullum Market / Mullumbimby Community market

Held on the third Saturday of each month at Summers Park in Mullumbimby, this long-running community market combines shopping, local entertainment and a strong connection to the area’s history. Established in 1989, it is presented as a family day out rather than simply a place to browse stalls, with the market running from 8am to 2pm at the corner of Stuart and Myokum Streets.

The stall mix changes, but the website describes a broad selection of local makers and small traders. Visitors may find artisan clothing, jewellery, homewares, plants, up-cycled and retro goods, eco-products, healing crystals and other stalls, along with fresh juices, massage and face painting. There is also live music from local buskers, adding to the relaxed, informal feel. The grassy park provides space to take a break, making it suitable for families, groups or solo visitors who want to browse at their own pace.

A notable part of the market is the Brunswick Valley Historical Society Museum, located at the centre of the grounds. Its displays cover local history and the development of the Valley, with old machinery and other material on show. The market website says all money raised goes towards keeping the museum open, so a visit supports the preservation of local stories as well as the stallholders and community activity around them.

Mullumbimby Community Market is a good fit for anyone looking for local goods, casual entertainment and a community atmosphere in the Byron Bay region. Dogs are not permitted in the park on market day. The market is generally held on its regular monthly date, although a major weather event can lead to a cancellation; visitors are advised to check the market’s Facebook page, Bay FM or the recorded market message before travelling if conditions are severe. The site lists the next market as Saturday 16 May 2026.
