Staircase to the Moon Night Markets
The Staircase to the Moon is a natural phenomenon observed in Broome Western Australia between April and October only. It is caused by the rising of a full moon reflecting on the exposed mudflats at extremely low tide creating a beautiful optical illusion of a staircase reaching up to the moon.
The Staircase Markets are held at the Town Beach Precinct on Hamersley Street for one night of the full moon April – October. Wander around the colourful local stalls under the stars, sample the tastes of Broome cuisine, listen to local live music and take in the spectacular Staircase to the Moon. Bring the family and enjoy a meal on the grass… Burgers, Pizza, Thai, Laksa, Satays, Fish N Chips, Egyptian food/kebabs/falafels, Chinese, Greek, Fruit Smoothies, Ice Cream, Donuts, Hot Dogs, Coffee and more… Stalls with jewellery, craft, clothing, confectionery, local mango products, soaps, incense, candles, photography, home-wares and more can be perused at a leisurely pace in the cool evening.
Getting there and back:
For all Thursday Night Markets the Broome Explorer Bus has extra return buses from the Town Beach bus stop on Robinson St, opposite the shopping centre, at 5.55pm, 6.25pm and 7.25pm.
Please check out the Broome Explorer Bus website for extra times on Staircase Market nights. They will generally leave 20 mins and 50 minutes after the moon rise from the Town Beach bus stop.
