COWRA COMMUNITY MARKETS

Third Saturday of every month

The Cowra Community Markets are held every third Saturday of every month at Sid Kallas Oval with a wide variety of local fresh produce, diverse stallholders and local buskers. Each month at their Markets, you can find locally grown fruit and veg, eggs, honey, oils and other pantry staples. They also have home-baked bread, cakes, slices and biscuits, homemade preserves, homewares and gift ideas, clothing, candles, plants, collectables and bric-a-brac, tea and coffee, and so much more! Don't forget the Cowra Community Chest Sausage sizzle, where they now also have egg and bacon rolls! The Markets are a great place to meet up with family or friends. You can grab a seat at the CCC Cafe while you have a coffee and cake, or a sausage sandwich. Entry to the Markets is a gold coin donation, 100 per cent of which helps Cowra locals with medical expenses.
