Why it's worth checking out

The Metropolitan (The MET) is an outdoor events venue at the corner of First Avenue and South Sea Islander Way in Maroochydore. It is best known in the supplied information as the setting for the Maroochydore Moonlight Markets, held on the third Saturday of each month from 4pm to 8pm.

The markets bring together gourmet street food, local artisan stalls, live social activity and the option to meet friends for a craft beer or cocktail under the stars. The outdoor setting gives the event an easy weekend feel, with space to browse, eat and spend time in the heart of the Maroochydore City Centre.

The MET suits groups and friends looking for a relaxed evening out, while the market format also offers plenty to explore for visitors coming on their own. Families may enjoy the broader City Centre events program, which also includes free big-screen entertainment and family-focused activities, although the supplied information specifically identifies the Moonlight Markets as taking place at The MET. As an outdoor venue, events are weather-dependent, with cancellation updates shared through the organisers’ social media channels. Council parking, both free and paid, is available throughout Maroochydore.
