Eumundi Markets

Ah, the Eumundi Markets! If the Sunshine Coast had a beating cultural heart, this would be it. A bustling blend of creativity, community, and country charm, the Eumundi Markets are a must-visit for tourists seeking authentic, artisan, and unforgettable experiences.

Let me be your guide to planning the perfect visit!

What Are the Eumundi Markets?

The Original Eumundi Markets are among Australia’s most famous artisan markets, known for their slogan:
“Make It. Bake It. Sew It. Grow It.”

This means everything sold must be locally made, designed, or grown. From handcrafted jewellery and homewares to organic produce, unique fashion, and street food with a twist—every stall tells a story.

When Are the Markets On?

• Wednesdays: 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM
• Saturdays: 7:00 AM – 2:00 PM

Both days offer the same vibrant vibe, though Saturday is the bigger market with more stalls and entertainment.
