The Market Folk

Established in 2015, The Market Folk stands as a beacon of support for local small businesses, embodying the spirit of community and creativity. As advocates for the talented artisans and entrepreneurs of Brisbane, we go beyond commerce; it's a celebration of the unique stories and craftsmanship that make our city vibrant. With regular markets scattered across Brisbane and The Gold Coast, The Market Folk provides a platform for hundreds of local creatives to showcase their passion and talent.

About Us

We are The Market Folk team, made up of our founder Sarah and two wonderful event coordinators.

Our roots are in small community events which started as pre-loved rack sales in 2015. As our name grew we had many creative businesses asking to attend our events and this quickly overtook our rack sales and became the style of markets you see today.

Fast forward to 2024 with over 100 market dates under our belt, we now work with over 500 small business each year across 7 locations.

We are very proud of our market community and quality of events. Picture this: creativity unleashed, friendships forged over one-of-a-kind finds, and an inclusivity that wraps you in a community like no other. We're not just a marketplace; we're a movement. Join us, because supporting small isn't just a choice—it's a lifestyle.
