Barangaroo Artisan Market 2025: A Record-Breaking Celebration of Creativity

Sunshine, standout entertainment, and our biggest crowd ever made this year’s market one to remember

What a day! The Barangaroo Artisan Market 2025 was nothing short of spectacular – our biggest and best Barangraoo Artisan Market yet, with record-breaking crowds, clear blue skies, and an atmosphere that felt like a true celebration of Sydney’s creative spirit.

Held on Saturday 10 May, right in the heart of Mother’s Day weekend, The Streets of Barangaroo came alive with vibrant energy as over 70 stallholders showcased their unique creations – from handcrafted homewares and sustainable fashion to artisanal foods, boutique wines, and locally made skincare.


A Picture-Perfect Day


With the sun shining and a gentle harbour breeze in the air, thousands of visitors wandered the waterfront laneways, exploring stalls, chatting with makers, and soaking up the festive vibe. Families, friends, couples, and curious passersby turned out in droves to celebrate craftsmanship, community, and culture.

The newly opened Barangaroo Metro Station made access easier than ever, welcoming a constant stream of excited market-goers arriving by Metro, train, light rail, ferry, and bus. Barangaroo was truly buzzing.


Entertainment That Stole the Show


This year’s entertainment program took things to the next level – and audiences couldn’t get enough. Highlights included:
  • The Disco Divas, dazzling and dynamic, had everyone dancing in the streets.
  • Kenny & Shiho wowed the crowd with gravity-defying hula hoops and high-energy juggling.
  • Trash & Treasure turned recycled fashion into a roaming runway of colour and creativity.
  • Slide McBride’s soulful brass and vocals had people singing along from every corner.
  • The Oompah Loompah Band, with their playful mix of classic tunes, gave the day a cheeky, joyous soundtrack.
  • Plus the Toy Box Jesters, Walks of Art, and more lit up the precinct with laughter, movement, and Instagram-worthy moments.
  • And DJs from Gabzak Music and YDKR brought the party vibe, spinning feel-good tracks that kept the energy high from start to finish.


The whole experience felt like a street party meets artisan showcase – a true festival of flavour, flair, and fun.


A Celebration of Community and Creativity


From start to finish, the day captured everything we love about Barangaroo: diversity, creativity, and connection. It was heartening to see so many people supporting small makers and enjoying the stunning surrounds of our harbour city.
Whether you visited for the shopping, stayed for the food, or danced along with the performers – thank you for being part of such an incredible day.
We’re already counting down to the next one.
