Cicada Market in Hua Hin offers weekend blend of art, food and live music
Cicada Market in Hua Hin has become one of the city’s most popular weekend attractions, drawing both tourists and locals alike to its open-air venue near Khao Takiab.
Held every Friday to Sunday evening, Cicada Market offers visitors the chance to explore a unique blend of contemporary art, handmade crafts, live performances and street food in a relaxed, garden-style setting.
What sets Cicada Market apart is its strong focus on the arts. From handmade jewellery and fashion items to paintings and decorative pieces, the market provides a platform for emerging artists and small business owners to showcase their creativity. Visitors can also browse stalls selling vintage goods, second-hand items and innovative SME products.
Cicada Market is divided into four main areas:
- A La Mode & Idea Shop – Dedicated to handmade and locally designed items, this section includes fashion, accessories, home décor and collectables.
- Art Factory – Showcasing works of decorative art, each piece reflecting a distinct individual style.
- Amphitheatre – A semi-circular stage that can seat up to 700 people, where visitors can watch performances ranging from music to theatre and dance.
- Cuisine – An open-air dining zone featuring a wide selection of Thai and international dishes, with options for every palate.
The market grounds once formed part of a 60-year-old holiday home owned by Luang Yuktasaviwiwat, whose descendants helped transform the space into the venue it is today. The mature trees and tropical garden surroundings contribute to the market’s atmosphere, with live music performances adding to the appeal.
For those looking to experience an authentic part of Hua Hin’s creative scene, Cicada Market provides an engaging look into Thai culture through its arts, crafts and community vibe. It’s a regular fixture for many locals and a highly recommended stop for visitors.
