A trip to the sunshine Coast should involve the markets. We have been lots of times during visits, this time we were quite disappointed that many spaces were vacant and the clothes especially that were on offer were also available from shops locally. it was still fun to visit but we didn't buy this time. There was hardly any fresh food/fruuit/veg etc. so for a Saturday market it was a bit underwhelming.

This market is one of the best we have ever been to. We purchased some wonderful items, produce & food and I could have stayed the entire day but the teenage boys were ready to move on after a couple of hours. Unfortunately we were disappointed to realise we had received a steep parking ticket for our couple of hours of enjoying the market ($70 plus a $60 "fee" from the rental car company 😒) when we returned to NZ. We did check carefully when we parked and couldn't see a no parking or time restricted sign. I have emailed the local council to ask where this sign is.

Have visited here many times but it seems to be losing its "market" appeal. The stalls are set out a little more orderly but many of them sell products you could buy pretty much anywhere and for prices in a high street shop. You just don't see the "bargains" you used to. The highlight is still the fresh salt and pepper calamari for lunch which I consider as good as you'll get anywhere. Worth a visit if you love markets.

My husband and I visited the Wednesday Markets on 30/08/23 and had a wonderful time looking around, but our experience has been soured by a parking fine. We parked in a park near the school that said it was a 15 minute parking spot, except for Wed and Sat days were 2 hours. So, we parked in one of these spots and ensured we left before the 2 hours was up. But we still received a parking fine. Great way to treat your visitors Eumundi, this is the last time we will be visiting.

One of the biggest market days I've ever been to. Hundreds of stalls selling everything from t-shirts to specialized artworks. We wandered for the morning and picked up a few souvenirs of our trip. Plan to get there early as the stalls close up around 2pm. There is limited parking and a fee of $9 to park as long as you like. No cash just tap n go. Could have spent more money than we did!
