The WHANGANUI RIVER MARKET is held every Saturday, rain or shine, and is situated alongside the Waimarie Riverboat Centre on the riverfront, 500 metres upstream on the town centre side of the City Bridge.

At Motua Quay every Saturday morning, an historic element of early Whanganui is re-enacted as stalls are set up alongside the downtown reaches of the Whanganui River, ready for a busy mornings trading.

Fast becoming known as one of the best markets in New Zealand, as many as one hundred stalls combine to ensure a diverse range of products are on show.

For Stallholders

Stall bookings need to be made by Wednesday of each week as space is often fully allocated. New stall-holders need to make contact earlier than this as there is an application process to go through.

For full details of terms and conditions, and how the market operates, visit our website's Stallholder Info page.
