List of Weekend markets in Perth

I enjoy going to weekend markets as the things are definitely cheaper and it's a good way to while the day away. You can always find something to buy and eat there. I'll update the list as I find new ones. They are usually opened only from Fridays to Sundays and Public Holidays.

Fremantle Market Corner of Henderson St & South Tce, Fremantle, Western Australia.
I think it's the oldest of its kind in Perth and one of the best. It's one of those places that is a must visit for tourists. There are basically 2 halls, one specialising in selling vegetables and fruits and the other consists of shops that sell from things like crystals to cds to soaps. There's food and drinks to be had there too but there's also a Asian theme foodcourt just opposite of it. On the weekends, there'll be buskers just outside of the market.

Wanneroo Market 33 Prindiville Drive Wangara
Not a really touristy place but if you are seriously really looking at buying vegetables and fruits, you can't beat this place. There's more than 8 different shops selling vegies and the prices are at some of the best you can find in Perth. There's also 2 different food court, and a number of shops that ranges from a pet shop to kitchenware shops to a shop that sell herbal plants. This is the place I'll go to when I need to buy a lot of vegies but the down side is that I couldn't find a fishmonger or a butcher, I may be wrong as I still haven't investigated every nooks there are yet.

Subiaco Market, 52 Station Street, Subiaco
I'll come here if I don't have time to go up to Wanneroo and I'm in town. The prices are comparable but I prefer Wanneroo as it is more spacious. The place is smaller but the variety of fresh vegies and fruits are just as good. There's also a food court here too and I like it because they are not what you'll see at other shopping centres foodcourt. I like the golzeme that they serve here.

Malaga Market, Corner Alexander Drive & Beach Road, Malaga
I like the atmosphere here as it seems to be more for a family outing. There are 3 pavilions with the centre pavilion having a food court and the other 2 selling all types of things like jewellery to handicrafts. They have a singer performing during lunch time to keep things lively and for those who are music deaf, there's a big screen tv at the foodcourt too.
