Staircase to the Moon Night Market at Town Beach, Broome

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.

The Staircase to the Moon Night Markets in Broome illuminate the coastal town with a magical evening glow. Aligned with the natural phenomenon of the Staircase to the Moon, where the moonrise reflects off the tidal flats, these markets offer a unique and enchanting experience with live entertainment at each event. Held at the Town Beach Reserve, the markets come alive with a curated selection of stalls featuring handmade crafts and delectable local cuisine.
