Margaret Street Markets – permanently closed
Toowoomba’s Margaret Street Market was the jewel in the crown of plans to revitalise the Toowoomba city centre, and it certainly paid off with crowds continuing to flock to this monthly market!

Kids will love dancing along to the live music while you browse the array of stalls. Look out for special carnivals and themed markets throughout the year!
