Eumundi Markets

The Eumundi Markets, on Memorial Drive in the charming hinterland town of Eumundi on the Sunshine Coast, are one of the largest and most famous art, craft and produce markets in the country. Held under the shade of the town's heritage fig trees, they bring the historic main street to life with hundreds of stalls of handmade goods, local produce, food and more.

The appeal is that vibrant, only-in-Eumundi experience: artisan crafts, fresh produce, fashion, gifts, street food and live music, all in a delightful village setting that's become a beloved Sunshine Coast institution. For many, it's a must-do day trip from the coast, with the enormous volume of reviews reflecting just how popular and well-loved it is.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 12,000 reviews, it's an overwhelmingly admired destination. The famous markets run on set days — typically a couple of times a week — so it's essential to check the current market days and times before you go, and arriving early helps beat the crowds and the heat, leaving time to explore the stalls and the lovely town.
