Stay up late at Night Markets, popular with tourists from around the world. Open late each night of the week, these markets are a collection of stalls catering mainly to foreign travelers, with vendors selling clothes, handmade crafts, souvenirs, food, beverages, and jewelry. Inspired by similar markets found all around East Asia, Cairns’ night markets were created as a convenient way for local merchants to satisfy the growing tourist demand for inexpensive but well-made local products. Today, you can visit over 130 stalls at a pleasantly air-conditioned shopping center, located on the city’s popular Esplanade. Use our Cairns tour itinerary planner to arrange your visit to Night Markets and other attractions in Cairns.

Very curious market. It's open at 4:30pm and you can find everything you want. Starting from dresses, gift or curiosity. You can eat Indonesian specialties in a very good fast food at the entrance of the market. There are also massages center and spa fish. If you are in Cairns you can't lost this market.
