Nothing beats the simple beauty of a quaint community market. Roaming the stalls of local producers and artisans, tote bag in hand, the sounds of music and happy marketgoers all around you. South Sydney residents would know from a local favourite, one that's swapping its historically weekly runs for a monthly recurrence: Green Square Markets. Like its Cambridge Markets-run siblings in Ryde Wharf, Wentworth Point, The Entertainment Quarter, The Cannery, and many more spots around Sydney, Green Square Markets is all about local produce and community spirit. It's been a year since the Green Square Markets kicked off, and now, from Saturday, April 26, the markets will take over Zetland's Green Square Plaza from 8am to 2pm on the fourth Saturday of every month. During each edition, you'll find a 50-stall-strong selection of fresh produce, baked goods, international eats and unique artisan goods, all sold by local vendors. Beyond the browsing, you can expect live family entertainment in the form of puppet shows, bubble wands, live music and more. It's a top excuse to get out of the house and get among the community spirit. The fact that you can get a great bite to eat, too, is gravy. To get there, the Green Square train station is across the road from the plaza, or parking can be found on Johnson Street and Queen Street, Alexandria.
