The Whistle Stop Museum is open (9.00am-1.00pm) every Thursday Market Day and the last Sunday of the month at the old Maryborough City Railway Station in Lennox Street.

The 'Mary Ann' steam engine operates every Thursday (9.00am-1.00pm) and the last Sunday of the month (9.00am-2.00pm) in Queens Park close to the CBD.

There's something very special about Maryborough on a Thursday. It’s the day colourful stalls and music take over from traffic and the city centre is transformed into the bustling outdoor Heritage City Market, a weekly celebration since it began in 1987.

The market is on every Thursday from 8.00am to 1.30pm in Adelaide and Ellena Streets, right in the heart of the City centre, featuring weekly entertainment and giveaways and a great variety of stalls to tempt the market day visitor.

Visitors can make a day of it in the city and join a guided Heritage Walk Tour from outside the City Hall at 9.00 am, or ride on a replica steam engine through Queens Park or cruise the historic waterways of the Mary River with Maryborough River Cruises.

The market also incorporates the firing of the city's historic Time Cannon at 1.00 pm by the city's ambassadors, the Town Crier and Mary Heritage. The gun is a replica of the cannon that was fired daily at 1.00 pm in the days before there was a town clock.

The atmosphere is vibrant, with plenty to see and do. Looking forward to seeing you there!
