Sunset Food Markets

Friday 11th December 2026


The Town of Port Hedland and BHP Present the Sunset Food Markets.  

This December, the Sunset Food Markets are about celebrating our community and saying thank you to the volunteers who give their time, energy and passion to Hedland throughout the year.

Everyone is welcome to join us at West End’s Marapikurrinya Park for a special festive season celebration, with delicious food vendors, live local acoustic music, family-friendly activities and a market bar, all under the festoon lights with ships passing through the port.

🌟 Are you a Hedland volunteer? As our way of saying thank you, volunteers from across our community can register to receive a free meal and drink on the night. Registrations open soon!

Bring a picnic rug, gather your crew and enjoy a relaxed evening by the water as we celebrate the festive season, our community and the wonderful volunteers who give so much to Hedland.

The Principal Partner for the Sunset Food Market series is BHP.
