Throughout the year Aberdeen hosts an International Continental Street Market in the Castlegate and on Union Street between Market Street and Bridge Street. From July 2007 the Aberdeen International Street Market will take place at Union Terrace rather than Union Street to prevent traffic congestion in Aberdeen City. Only emergency vehicles will be able to access Union Terrace during the time of the markets. Admission is free and there is free food tasting and samples.

Stalls include

Food
Crafts
Gardening Items and Furniture
Plants
Drink
Flowers

Stall holders travel from across Europe, including other areas in the UK, France, Belgium, Spain, Holland and Italy.

Over 100,000 visitors attended the May 2007 International Street Market in Aberdeen.

The 2007 Aberdeen International Street Markets were organised by Groupe Geraud who are based in Paris, France.

The Aberdeen Civic Society were against the move from Castlegate to Union Terrace for the Aberdeen International Market because the Castlegate has been an historical location for markets throughout the centuries for Aberdeen markets
