Discover Cambridge's Premier Community Market Experience

The Cambridge Trash 'N' Treasure Market represents the heart and soul of Kiwi community markets. This monthly gathering has evolved into more than just a place to buy and sell goods—it's become a social hub where locals and visitors alike connect, discover, and support local businesses.

Markets like these are a cornerstone of New Zealand culture, offering:

• Sustainable shopping: Giving preloved items a second life reduces waste and promotes environmental consciousness
• Support for local artisans: Handcrafted goods showcase the incredible talent of our region's makers
• Fresh, seasonal produce: Connect directly with growers for the freshest fruits and vegetables
• Community connection: Markets foster a sense of belonging and provide space for neighbours to catch up
• Family-friendly outings: A perfect weekend activity that everyone can enjoy

The Cambridge market stands out for its longevity and commitment to quality. Run by the dedicated Lions Club of Cambridge, proceeds from their efforts support numerous community initiatives throughout the Waikato region.

Visiting a local market is also an excellent way for tourists to experience authentic Kiwi culture. You'll hear local accents, discover regional specialties, and experience the friendly, laid-back atmosphere that makes New Zealand special.

So mark your calendar for the second Sunday of each month, grab your reusable shopping bags, and join the tradition that has kept Cambridge residents coming back for over two decades!
