Milton Markets: The Fall Harvest

Overview

Forget worms — the early bird gets gourmet bites to eat, farm-fresh produce to line the cupboards, and an enjoyable morning of browsing and shopping at Milton Markets. Every Sunday morning from 6am — and 7am in winter — more than 80 stalls descend upon the corner of Cribb and Little Cribb streets in the inner western suburb to sell tasty wares. From whenever you feel like waking up until midday, you can wander through massive fig trees to join them.

Once a season, the Milton Markets also celebrates the change of weather — and all of the food that goes with it. On Sunday, March 31, it's doing so with Milton Markets: The Fall Harvest, which'll showcase the tastes that make everyone think of autumn.

If fresh seasonal fruit such as apples, pears, figs, pomegranate, dates, cumquats and grapefruit gets your stomach grumbling, you can stock up here. If a maple syrup latte with cinnamon infused milk, topped with ginger crumbled snap, does as well, you're in luck again. And if you're hankering for a sweet potato waffle, apple and rhubarb danish or vegan hotdog, arrive hungry.

Expect pumpkin to feature, as well, and expect Scenic Rim farmers selling their wares. Themed gourmet food stalls, decorations to suit the occasion, and live entertainment and music are on the agenda too.
