As a Caloundra local, I visit the Sunday Markets on a regular basis, but it is always interesting when bringing visitors from interstate or overseas to look at it through different eyes. Over the years, the number of stall holders fluctuates but although the numbers may be slightly down at the moment, the quality definitely remains.
If you’re a foodie, you’ll be in seventh heaven! You can enjoy French crepes, German sausages, Dutch poffertjes, Turkish, Japanese, Australian, Vietnamese... the list goes on and on... but the one food stall you really mustn’t miss is the Tibetan Momos! If you’ve never tasted them you will be in for a real treat and I guarantee you’ll be back for more! (They are delicious little vegetable dumplings, either steamed or fried and served with soy and sweet chilli sauces.) After all, you can have a doughnut or a hot dog any time, but how often do you get the chance to experience the authentic taste of the Himalayan country of Tibet?
It’s a lovely morning out for the whole family, with plenty of clothes, toys, arts and crafts, pet accessories, bread and cakes, coffee and juices, flowers and wonderfully fresh local fruit and veg offerings - if you can’t find something here to tempt you, I’ll be amazed! The street musicians are great and contribute to the happy vibe and when you’re quite exhausted, beautiful Bulcock Beach is just a gentle stroll 3 or 4 minutes away. Without a doubt, the best street fair on the Sunshine Coast.

Went to these markets with the family to have a look around on a Sunday. They had a great variety and everything I ate and drank were delicious and perfect. However, whenever I go out in public, something despicable somehow always manages to happen to me. As I stepped out onto the closed road off of the footpath, a drug lord was hooning down the road on his mechanically upgraded E-scooter, travelling about 50 KPH. He slammed me over, and I was flying like a rag doll into the German Sausage cart. I flew straight in through the front window of the cart and straight into the kitchen. I frivolously knocked over all of the pots and pans and was completely burnt all over by the pots of boiling water. I suffered from third degree burns as well as a broken pelvis, arm, leg, neck, and knee cap. I was rushed to the hospital unconscious and was in there for around 2 weeks. And those 2 weeks...... they felt like an eternity. I was terribly injured from this experience, and the actions of the ignorant foolish individual who put me in this condition. I will never forget this experience. However, the markets themselves were just remarkable. I would definitely return again - would recommend to families.

We had a wonderful time. Our Grandsons really enjoyed it. Face painting and met a Rainbow Macaw, which the eldest Grandson proudly held on his arm. He was also given one of the birds wing feathers, that had fallen out, from the owner. Lots of different stalls to wander through.
Lunch with friends at a cafe rounded off the afternoon.

I enjoyed the variety of food stalls available, however seating was fairly limited. I was looking forward to lots of arts and crafts stalls but they were surprisingly lacking today. Toilet facilities are limited.

Hi LuvLoz Thank you for taking the time out to provide us with a review, we really appreciate it. We are currently curating the market and while we aren't there yet we really value all input and it is great to know there is a want for more arts and crafts. We will definitely look into it. We agree that we need more seating and are going to be investing in that as soon as possible. Over the next few months we are looking to introduce more new stalls and different activations so we really hope you come back! Olivia.

Sights sounds. Tastes. A lot to see taste and buy. Various street performers from laid back to German musicians. Great for a casual stroll and different cuisines to taste. I liked Pete the Greek and the ginger beer man. The home made loaves especially the pear and raspberry were also a hit

I believe it’s one of the better street markets I’ve seen in my travels.
Known as the Caloundra Street Fair it is on every Sunday in the top end of Bulcock Street, from 8am to around 1pm. And Bulcock Street has had a recent refurbishment that is awesome.
There’s usually around 150-200 stalls with an amazing variety of goodies.
Clothes of many styles, T-shirts of course, heaps of crafts, zillions of jewellery pieces, plants and seedlings, lots of framed and mounted things, CD’s, hats, stickers, fruit and veg, sunglasses, books, confectionery, cushions, soap, handbags, flowers, dolls, toys, belts, children’s clothes, masses of bric-a brac, coffee, cool drinks, get a massage, have your palm read, live entertainment and many, many different types of yummy food to munch on. And probably lots more that I can’t remember.
Plus, most of the shops and coffee shops that line Bulcock Street are open too.
It can get busy so my advice is to try and get there a bit early. Plenty of parking in surrounding streets plus the free Council Carpark above the Transit Centre, nearly next door, just one street over from Bulcock Street.
If in the area it’s a must do.

Markets in the main street of Caloundra every Sunday between 9am and 1pm. Hugh range of goods selling within a flea market environment and plenty of food options. Take a hat and enjoy a pleasant day haggling vendors.

Hi Mal B, Thank you for your review of the Caloundra Street Fair in December. We really appreciate that you took the time to recommend our Street Fair to others. I just wanted to clarify for readers that the Street Fair is actually open from 8am - 1pm. And we whole heartedly agree with your advice for visitors to bring a hat - as we are two streets back from the beach on the Sunshine Coast, hats are essential in summer! We do hope that we see you back in Caloundra again soon. Best Regards, Jade Baker

If you can make Caloundra markets on a Sunday don't miss them. There is quite a variety of stalls and goods/food and knick knacks to browse through. Speak to the locals in the stalls for a great chit chat then head down for a dunk in the water only 5 minutes walk away. I am sure you will enjoy your time there
