Bourail's Grand Marché Local & Gourmand is back stronger than ever!

Located in the village of Bourail, South Province, the Grand Marché Local & Gourmand takes place on Saturday, November 7, 2026, from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Held across the communal market, Place Rolly, and the pedestrianized Dovano Street, this vibrant morning event highlights local produce and Caledonian gastronomy on Mainland New Caledonia. Organized in partnership with the FCTE, the 2026 edition puts a special spotlight on squash and flowers, showcasing the agricultural expertise of the region. Visitors can fill their baskets with fresh squash, local produce, gourmet specialties, handcrafted creations, flowers, and plants from passionate local growers and artisans. The family-friendly event features bouncy castles for children and a free squash contest with prizes for the best carved squash and the most creative recipe (appetizer, main dish, or dessert). Buying local supports regional farmers and artisans across the South Province of New Caledonia. The event is co-organized by the Municipality of Bourail, CAP-NC, Bienvenue à la Ferme, the Bourail Communal Market Association, FCTE, and Lézar'tisans de Bourail.
