Mindil Beach Sunset Market: Darwin's Iconic Dry Season Market

The Mindil Beach Sunset Market is one of the most famous events in the Northern Territory, running on Thursday and Sunday evenings through the Dry Season (typically late April to late October). Stalls from dozens of cultures serve an extraordinary range of food, from satay and laksa to wood-fired pizza and freshly squeezed juice, while craft and art stalls line the surrounding beach. The real centrepiece is the sunset over the Timor Sea, watched from the beach as the sky turns orange and the cooking smells fill the air. The market is free to enter and easily reached by car, taxi or rideshare from the Darwin CBD.
