Gaya Street Sunday Market

Gaya Street Sunday Market turns a historic Kota Kinabalu thoroughfare into a lively weekend bazaar of snacks, crafts, antiques, and street energy. Locals and travellers weave between stalls under tropical morning light, sampling Sabahan flavours and hunting souvenirs. The market continues KK’s tradition of open-air trading that once defined the waterfront town. Go early for the freshest buzz and easier walking before midday heat, and bring small cash for snacks and crafts. Pair with a waterfront sunset later—the Sunday market is the city’s weekly social pulse, informal, colourful, and the best short introduction to everyday Sabah street life.
