The heart of Dunedin springs to life again as George Street transforms into a vibrant open-air marketplace bursting with colour, flavour, and creativity.
What’s new
A vibrant new development for this year is the Poptagon and extended time for Eats and Beats on Bath Street – a dedicated food, drink, and live music zone that will run until 10:00pm.
There will be two live music stages and seating to make the atmosphere enjoyable and buzzing. This is perfect space for those who want to relax and soak up some tunes after a long day getting their shopping fix at the market.

Market Stalls
With over 200 stalls, there is plenty on offer to discover creative, contemporary, and original products from across New Zealand. From handcrafted jewellery and art through, beauty and skincare through to plants for garden lovers, the choice is endless.
Entertainers
The atmosphere of the George Street Market wouldn’t be the same without performers! Visit the Live and Local stage near the Malls, see international street performers at the intersections, or check out the multiple music stages down Bath Street. There’s a tonne of options for you to enjoy entertainment on the day.
Back by popular demand, the market will host a dynamic line up of international street performers to entertain the crowds. These world class performers will wow you and have you in hysterics.
