Miami Marketta

Miami Marketta sits on Hillcrest Parade at Miami, on the southern Gold Coast, and is one of the region's most iconic and beloved destinations. A buzzing street-food market and live-music venue set in a converted warehouse, it brings together a huge array of food stalls, bars and entertainment under one roof for a genuinely vibrant night out.

The appeal is that combination of incredible food variety, a lively atmosphere and regular live music, all in an atmospheric, characterful setting. Wander between the global street-food stalls, grab a drink and catch a band — it's a fun, social, all-in-one experience that's become a Gold Coast institution for locals and visitors alike.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 4,400 reviews, it's clearly delivering the good times. Opening nights, the food stalls, live-music line-ups, ticketed events and any entry arrangements vary considerably — it's not open every night — so it's essential to check the current schedule and what's on before you go, and to consider booking for ticketed events, to make the most of this Gold Coast favourite.
