Mindil Beach Sunset Market

About

The Mindil Beach Sunset Market is a Darwin institution and one of Australia's great markets. Running Thursday and Sunday evenings from April to October (dry season only — the market closes during the wet season), it draws thousands of locals and tourists to Mindil Beach for spectacular sunsets, world-class street food (Southeast Asian, African, Greek, and more), live music, arts and crafts, and entertainment. Arrive early to get the best food, grab a blanket, and stake out your spot on the sand for sunset. Free entry, but budget for food. Seasonal note: this market only operates April–October — check dates before visiting during school holidays.
