Avondale Sunday Market

There is a lot at this market. Plenty of fresh produce as well as knick knacks and clothing. It gets very busy though & getting through the traffic is a bit of a mission.

The Avondale Sunday Market is legendary, and one of the very best West Auckland markets regularly held. You'll typically find around 100 market stalls each Sunday, including bric a brac, hardware / tools, childrens toys and games, watches and jewellery, car and kitchen mats, clothing and lingerie, and other general stalls. Anything goes here. More established market traders happily co-exist with one-off sellers of items left over from their home garage sales.

There are a number of food trucks and stalls here, with specialties including bacon butties, burgers, and hot chips - but there's also island food stalls with taro, chop suey and the like.

One of the big attractions here is the fleet of trucks from which vegetables and seasonal produce are sold - normally at excellent prices. There's probably 20-30 fruit and vegetable stalls to choose from, ensuring competition and low costs... tip from locals: go to the market circa 12 noon (about an hour before closing), and you'll see all of the fruit and vege traders deep discounting their remaining produce... this is the time for bargains!

Occasional music buskers complete the mix at this wonderful market. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and are looking for good value products.

Busy outdoor market - lots of traffic and can get tricky to find a park. Interesting to browse and to at least pick up fresh fruit and vegetables. There's quite a range of produce including vegetables that aren't always at the supermarket (like lots of different greens for stir fry).

Nice selection of fresh fruit and veges and all grown locally. Lots of other stalls which cater for all.

I like going to the different markets, and this is one of the best. Really great, fresh fruit and vegetables at such reasonable prices. Always fun to meet up with people and talk to the different stall vendors. Most are regulars, but sometimes you meet someone new
