Whangārei Growers Market
Running every Saturday from 6.30am to 10am, the Growers Market is the place to shop for fresh local fruit, vegetables, meat, cheese, honey and preserves. All the produce is grown locally so you know it’s fresh! Park at the Library and you’ll see the market across the road on Water Street.

Tikipunga Market
After your Sunday morning sleep-in, head to Tikipunga High School from 8am to 11am and shop for local fruit and vegetables, fresh locally caught seafood, arts and crafts, plants, car boot bargains and more. There are also food and coffee stands so you can grab brekkie while you shop. Check out the Tikipunga Market on Facebook.
Tutukaka Twilight Market
The Tutukaka Twilight Market is an amazing place for a fun evening out, with delicious food stands, drinks and artisan goods. Held at Tutukaka Marina on one Saturday each month from 4.30pm to 8pm, there’s a fantastic atmosphere with music, dancing and plenty of good vibes – we suggest you take a picnic, buy dinner and make a night of it.
