The Rocks Christmas Markets 2021
Get into the Christmas spirit with festive eats and one-of-a-kind gifts.
Overview
The Rocks is serving up all your Christmastime needs in its cobblestone streets this holiday season — from bespoke gifts and decorations to joyful holiday feeds. The historic neighbourhood's annual Christmas Markets will run every Friday through Sunday from December 3–19.
Not only that, but The Rocks will be decked out to the nines, transforming the precinct into a Christmas wonderland. There'll be ambient lighting at the First Fleet Park stairway as you head into The Rocks, alongside Christmas trees, lamp post decorations and fairy lights along George Street. Plus, a variety of live music will also take over The Rocks, with a mixture of Christmas covers and feel-good tunes.
The Rocks' usual shops will be done up in your standard red-and-green, silver-and-gold hues, too. There'll also be plenty of festive treats from street food vendors, so you can refuel on some tasty snacks, then keep working through your gift list.
Once you've got all your shopping done, you can head to Broomfields pop-up pie shop, which is opening alongside the market and running all the way until February. Open on Playfair Street, the pie shop is serving up buttery pies with mash, gravy and cold beers Thursday–Sunday. It even has a turkey, pork and sage Christmas Pie.
The Christmas Markets will be open from 4–9pm Fridays, 10am–9pm Saturday and 10am–5pm on Sundays.
