Biggest Markets On The Fraser Coast
The Howard Country Markets are a vibrant and delightful event held in the charming town of Howard, Queensland. These markets have become a beloved gathering place for locals and visitors alike, offering a unique blend of community spirit, fresh produce, arts, crafts, and a lively atmosphere.
Held on the first Saturday of the month (except January), the Howard Country Markets transform the town into a bustling hub of activity. The markets are held at Bellert Park (Next to the Howard Community Centre, 56 Steley Street, Howard), allowing attendees to soak in the pleasant Queensland weather while perusing the various stalls.
One of the highlights of the Howard Country Markets is the abundance of fresh, locally sourced produce. Farmers from the region proudly display their seasonal fruits and vegetables, providing visitors with the opportunity to taste the flavors of the land.

It’s the perfect opportunity to find that one-of-a-kind treasure or a thoughtful gift for someone special.
Beyond the shopping experience, the Howard Country Markets offer much more to keep visitors entertained. Live music performances create a lively ambiance. The markets also provide a platform for local community groups and organizations to raise awareness about their causes and initiatives, fostering a sense of camaraderie and support within the community.
