Valentine’s Day Magic and Local Markets: What’s On in Albury Today

Saturday Morning at the Markets

Start your weekend and your Valentine's Day celebrations by heading down to the Albury Wodonga Farmers Market. Held at Gateway Village on the Lincoln Causeway, the market runs from 8:00 am to 12:00 noon. It is the perfect spot to pick up fresh, seasonal produce, artisan sourdough, or perhaps a bouquet of local flowers for that special someone. The market is a community staple where you can meet the local farmers and producers directly, ensuring your weekend breakfast is as fresh as it gets.

Afternoon Art and Exhibitions

For those looking for a cultural experience, the Murray Art Museum Albury (MAMA) is a must-visit today. Following its grand opening last night, the RAW26 exhibition is now open to the public. This showcase features new works by eleven talented local artists aged 16–21, exploring themes of identity, community, and belonging. While at the museum, you can also explore other ongoing exhibitions, including 'Australia in Space' and 'Bungambrawatha: Stories of Albury,' which provide a deep dive into both local history and futuristic exploration.
