A Sunday market at 23 Elm Street in Avondale, Auckland, which the website calls New Zealand's biggest one-day market and its oldest running one. It has a strong Polynesian and Asian influence, with stalls for arts, crafts, fresh produce, clothes, household goods and car boot items. The website highlights a fishmonger with fish and shellfish, including squid and live crabs, and deals on fruit and vegetables. It says the market is open every Sunday, including public holidays, rain or shine, from 5am to lunchtime. Stallholders must arrive by 5am to get a site, and anyone not in by 7am is turned away. Car parking costs $3 as at 2026, and the website warns that visitors park at their own risk and that street parking on the main road can attract fines.
The website says the market draws 15,000 to 20,000 visitors on a single day. It sells food from many Pacific and Asian countries, and says it is the place to find hard-to-get food items. Stallholders may not sell hot or baked food, and the market has security at the front gates. Busking is generally allowed. A casual stall site starts at $25 as at 2026, and the website describes the site as about 2.8 metres wide.
