Tips & Advice

  • Bring cash with you, because only some stallholders take mobile EFTPOS, although there are five ATMs in or near Queen Street.
  • Leave the dog at home, because council bylaws ban dogs from Queen Street and the surrounding central streets during the fair.
  • Head to Park Street for food trucks and food stalls, or use the cafes and takeaway shops around Queen Street.
  • Use the public toilets on Bannister Street or Dixon Street, or the portaloos in Perry Street and Cricket Street, because cafe toilets are for customers only.
