The Crows Nest - Highfields District hosts two markets each month with each having its own unique flavour.
 Visitors come from far a field to enjoy a morning at the Cabarlah Country Markets. You will find more than 250 stalls with something for everyone to see and do. Stallholders sell plants, clothes, jewellery, toys, food, artwork, furniture and crafts while musicians entertain and they all come together to create a mini village on the last Sunday of each month from 8am-1.30pm. The markets are located at the Cabarlah Sports Grounds on the New England Highway. There is convenient parking in the grounds. Take a break or enjoy lunch at the Farmers Arms Hotel after wandering the markets. The Farmers Arms is the oldest continually licensed hotel in Queensland. If you are after something a little different try Colours of San Cris, a short walk from the markets. Enjoy South American coffee and gourmet platters in the surrounds of this unique Mexican-styled gift shop and café.
 The Lions Club Village Markets in Crows Nest, the first Sunday of the month from 7.30am-12 noon, is centred around the picturesque Centenary Park in Crows Nest. The town comes alive with a variety of quality art and craft, fruit and vegetables, plants and unique gifts stalls. Stop in and grab a bargain and soak up the old-fashioned country village hospitality. After the markets enjoy the 23km drive north through hills and creek crossings to the Hungry Dingo Café and Emu Farm. Overlooking Emu Creek and facing Mt Binga range and forestry, the café offers a blackboard menu with hot and cold platters incorporating a range of locally grown produce. Say hello to the emus and demara sheep and enjoy the relaxed rural environment.
