Sunshine Coast Markets Guide: Eumundi, Noosa, Hinterland Destinations

The Sunshine Coast's market scene is exceptional: the Eumundi Markets are among the most famous and most copied artisan markets in Australia, the Noosa Farmers Market is one of Queensland's finest farmers markets, and the hinterland towns (Maleny, Montville, Mapleton) have their own community markets embedded in the weekend lifestyle of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland region.

Eumundi Markets, the Eumundi Markets (Wednesday 8am to 2pm; Saturday 7am to 2pm, Memorial Drive Eumundi, free entry) are one of Australia's most famous artisan markets, established in 1979 in the small hinterland town of Eumundi. The 600+ stalls of handmade jewellery, art, clothing, furniture, pottery, leather goods, and food make the Saturday Eumundi Markets Australia's largest dedicated artisan market by stall count. The Wednesday market is smaller but equally high quality.

Noosa Farmers Market, the Noosa Farmers Market (Sunday 7am to noon, Weyba Road Noosaville, free entry) is one of Queensland's finest farmers market experiences, with the Sunshine Coast hinterland, the North Coast, and the Gympie region producers selling direct-from-farm produce, artisan food, specialty coffee, and prepared food in the Noosaville precinct near the Noosa River.

Maleny Community Market, the Maleny Community Market (Saturday 7am to noon, Maleny Showgrounds, free entry) is the Sunshine Coast Hinterland's finest community market, in the dairy farming town of Maleny on the Blackall Range. The organic produce, the artisan food, and the community atmosphere reflect Maleny's progressive community culture.

Mooloolaba Esplanade Markets, the Mooloolaba Esplanade Markets (Sunday, Mooloolaba Esplanade, free entry) provide the Sunshine Coast's most accessible coastal market experience, with artisan goods, food, and crafts on the popular Mooloolaba beachfront.
