For the freshest produce this festive season you can’t go past the Adelaide Central Market.
From seafood and poultry to fresh fruit and bakery goods, the Market has everything you need for your Christmas table. Be sure to check with individual stall holders for cut off dates if you’re planning on ordering special items such as baked hams, crayfish and prawns.
For a festive touch to your Market shop there will be a variety of live performances throughout the month of December. From musicians and choirs to local bands and school groups – you’ll be able to enjoy some talented South Australians while you shop.
The Market will be open Christmas Eve and New Years Eve from 7am to 3pm.*
