Overview

Blak Markets are back at The Rocks this weekend, bringing the now-famous offering of Indigenous makers, artists and small business owners together for a special Mother's Day celebration. While the market has historically run for a weekend, this will see 20 stallholders popping up in Dawes Point Park for one day only, from 10am–4pm on Sunday, May 11.

It's not just a great activity to visit with Mum — it's a great chance to meet some talented creatives and celebrate the special day with a community, while you spend an afternoon wandering the markets and chatting with the makers.

You can also enjoy a Welcome to Country and smoking ceremony when the market opens, as well as live dance performances, a weaving workshop, and a dance and ochre workshop for any kids, before the fun concludes at 4pm.

On the stallholder front, you can take home the likes of handmade dolls by Dollies Tribe & Co; gorgeous artworks by Saretta Art & Design, Soul Reign and Kourt; native bushfood and plants from IndigiGrow; and much more.
