Byron Surf Festival Market Returns for 2024
A Vibrant Celebration of Surf Culture and Local Artistry
Byron Markets, Byron Bay’s leading manager of the region's most popular markets, is thrilled to announce its partnership with the Byron Bay Surf Festival to oversee the return of the Byron Surf Festival Market, a vibrant celebration of surf culture and local artistry occurring as part of the four-day Festival.
"We are thrilled to collaborate with the Byron Bay Surf Festival to bring back the Byron Surf Festival Market. Our shared commitment to supporting local artisans and promoting sustainability makes this partnership a natural fit that enhances our community's vibrant culture," said Graham Double, Manager of Byron Markets.
Set to return on Saturday, 17 August (8am-3pm), this highly popular event is back after a hiatus due to Cyclone Oma in 2019 and the challenges posed by the pandemic. The markets will be bigger and better than ever under the management of Byron Markets, the owners of the iconic Byron Community Market, Byron Twilight Market, and Byron Beachside Market.
John Finlay, Chairman of the Byron Bay Surf Festival, shares his excitement: “We’re thrilled to bring the Byron Surf Festival Market back to life. Partnering with Byron Markets ensures a truly authentic and vibrant experience that showcases the best of our local surf culture and community spirit.”
The Byron Surf Festival Market will come alive at Dening Park as part of the four-day Byron Bay Surf Festival, which runs from 15-18 August. The market will feature around 80 stalls, including food, fashion, and art, promising a “gnarly” lineup of vendors showcasing their unique creations.
"The Byron Bay Surf Festival has grown into a multi-day event that activates several aspects of surf culture through innovative and experiential ideas since its inception in 2010. Our Festival has always been about more than just surfing; it’s about embracing the entire surf lifestyle and community. This year, with the markets returning, we are expanding that celebration to include even more of what makes Byron Bay special," said James McMillan, founder of the Byron Bay Surf Festival.
The Byron Bay Surf Festival Market will be held on Saturday, 17 August, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Dening Park as part of the Byron Bay Surf Festival. Byron Markets manages the market, sponsored by SumUp, a global payment gateway offering secure card payment methods.
