The Parap Village, home to the Saturday Markets, is a local institution and the best way to have a real Darwin start to your visit.
Parap Village is renowned for its excellent shops and businesses – fresh bread direct from the bakery, fine cuts of meat from the local butcher and exclusive gourmet delights from Parap Fine Foods just perfect for entertaining.
If decorating your home or needing a sassy present visit the boutique clothing, jewellery and home wares shops specializing in quality and individuality.
And while you’re in Parap you can get your hair done, visit a physio, organise your finances, post your letters, bring your pooch in for a checkup or grab a massage or a magazine.
You can then relax and socialize at one of Parap’s fine eating establishments or collect a tasty Asian, Mexican or Aussie meal to take home with you.
Saturday before the sun rises, the food stalls are whipping up exotic dishes from around Asia. Tastes of Vietnam, Thailand, China, Cambodia, Indonesia, Europe and Malaysia come alive in creating a taste sensation! Delicious crepes, tropical fruit smoothies, shaved ice for the kids and freshly roasted international gourmet coffee round off the perfect brekkie mix.
A remarkable range of fresh fruit and veggies are available at market prices including in-season local and exotic produce such as herbs, Asian greens, and delightfully peculiar tropical fruit the likes you’ve never seen before.
After tending to your appetite whilst enjoying the ambient tunes of local and touring performing artists, wander through the markets to discover a wide variety of quality local and imported goods and services including unique clothing, jewellery, soap, toys, pottery, artworks, hammocks, beauty products, woodwork, plants, cut flowers, massage, tarot readings and much more.
Offering the finest tropical flavours and true Territory atmosphere, the Parap Village Markets are open every Saturday 8am – 2pm (rain or shine) at the Parap Village Shopping Precinct, Parap Road, just five minutes from the CBD.
