The markets rank amongst the most popular tourist attractions of
Darwin; but they seem to be even more trendy amongst locals as it is not unusual to be amongst 10,000 people when visiting
Mindil Beach! From April to October, the area becomes very busy every Thursday night (with a small version of the markets also taking place on Sundays). One of the biggest draw cards of the markets are the food stalls; delicacies inspired by cuisine from all corners of the globe are on offer and from a cheese sandwich to
Bami Goreng, from Argentinian-style steak to a steaming Mongolian soup, anything is on sale!
Aboriginal arts and Asian crafts are on sale; and visitors can enjoy
live performances, bands playing, poetry reading and the occasional fireworks display are an integral part of the markets, too.
