Kempsey Riverside Markets is a place for locals and holiday makers to gather, small businesses to be seen, families to enjoy the riverside, and community connections to grow.
Every market helps keep local dollars in the Macleay Valley and gives makers, growers, food vendors, community groups and young entrepreneurs a place to show up, practise, sell and belong.
Food, coffee & treats
Grab a coffee, something tasty, and enjoy a relaxed morning outdoors.
Local stallholders
Handmade goods, gifts, plants, produce and locally made treasures.
Live music & riverside vibes
Sit under the trees, listen to local music and enjoy the Macleay River.
Kids’ activities
Family-friendly activities, fun extras and space for kids to enjoy the morning.
Mini Makers
Young local creatives practising business skills in a safe, supportive space.
Community connection
A place for locals, visitors, small businesses and community groups to come together.
Our Mini Makers are young people who create their own goods and come along to practise being in business. The market gives them a safe, welcoming place to build confidence, talk to customers, handle money and experience the pride of selling something they have made.
Mini Makers attend for free because we believe young locals deserve the chance to be included, encouraged and celebrated
