Our next market is on...
About Us
If the words fresh produce, bric-a-brac or collectibles excite you, then you've come to the right place. Brighton Sunday Market is one of South Australia's biggest open air markets blending fresh produce, food carts, and snack bars, with local arts and craft, antiques, collectables, and second-hand dealers selling just about anything.
All funds raised by Brighton Sunday Market (a not-for-profit organisation) are used to support students during their study of music.
Brighton Sunday Market was established in 2002 with a 'car boot sale' to raise funds for students to participate in an international tour. Since that time it has grown to become a regular shopping adventure for thousands of South Australians looking to 'bag a bargain'.
