We didn't have breakfast and the first challenge of the day was to pick from all the fun offerings. These markets are famous and our Wednesday visit just after the peak holiday weekends met crowds were manageable. Parking is well organised -happy to contribute to the charities for their efficient parking skills and enjoyed the couple of hours of wandering. Our early start meant the first hour was nice and quiet. By the time we left, it was starting to get a bit crowded.

Your website states the market will be on ‘rain hail or shine’ so as visitors to your area we drove up from Maroochydore only to find a very dismal turnout from stall holders. I am sympathetic towards the stall holders because it was a rainy day but I think the ‘organisation’ ‘committee’ ‘board’ or whatever you call yourselves firstly needs to change the website to read ‘weather permitting’ but long term why have you not built permanent all weather roof shelter for your stall holders who presumably pay rent to operate (I’d imagine more rent than most being such a high profile market). How long have you been operating??? It’s nigh time, put some money back in.

Unbelievably expensive. $11 for a sausage on a roll. $8 for a small slushie. $7 for parking. Some interesting stalls but the prices are outrageous.

Eumundi is such a lovely town. Going to the market on Esaster Saturday naturally meant that overcrowding was to be expected yet it did little to diminish the experience. The food variety was excellent and the stalls often a bit different to the usual offerings that make up most other markets. I'm looking forward to going again when things are less hectic. Highly recommended.

Was encouraged to visit the Market, went on Wednesday, found parking easy and great choice of stalls.
Quality of products in most of the stalls was good, lots of locally produced products and reasonable prices.
Plenty of food and drink choices available and lots of places to sit, enjoy some food/drink and in the shade (and make the most of people watching!)
On a side note, a big thanks to the courtesy and help given from the organisers in the office when my partner became unwell.
Well worth a visit if in the area, a great well organised market, attracting a nice crowd of visitors.

If something is an accident, it could have been prevented. I was visiting here on Saturday and the clouds started to gather, and the wind picked up. I saw a couple of stall holders scramble to grab items that started to blow away. What was more concerning was the number of marquees that were not secured to the ground.
Reading the stall holder guidelines on the Original Eumundi Markets website mentions nothing about ensuring your marquee is secured to the ground. We did observe many responsible stall owners who had secured there stalls. Maybe market management should write this into the terms and conditions, because if something does happen, it won’t be an accident, it will be negligence!

It has been a few years since we have been here thanks to the QLD covid lock up. As expected, it has not changed and was fabulous. It is fabulous because everything is original and home made. Such a vast display of artists goods. Food, jewellery, homewares, soaps, paintings….you name it, it is here. Such a wonderful atmosphere. Very reasonable pricing. Friendly vendors. The site has been refurbished so the overall feel is so much more spacious and easier to walk around. Great shops also in the main street. Smaller market above the main street and the adjoining market below the original market. Plan to spend the day here slowly wandering through the stalls and shops. Plenty of choice for lunch including the pub in the main street. Perfect place to spoil yourself with a gift and perfect for buying presents for others. Highly recommended.

Great day out with lots of stalls & stores filled with arts, crafts, food & clothing. It is twice the size of the markets I remember from nearly 20 years ago, and worth the drive north.
Lots to see and do - get there early for parking & expect big crowds.

I’m shocked by previous reviews. This place is like going to the $2 shop but paying a 400 percent mark up. My daughter adores markets - from queen vic to port Douglas but couldn’t find a single thing to love. From $5.50 snow cones to $7 parking in the mud, this is just very sad.

There were heaps of kids at the market today but it was sunny. There are parts of the market that are covered but the majority isn’t . Hope this helps.

It's not actually under cover - the stalls are typical stalls that are under canvas but the walk ways are open. Where there are small shops to the side of the market there is some cover but not much. Access is fine for toddlers especially if you have a push chair. Hope that helps. We went there on a lousy day with our three year old and eight week old granddaughters and managed OK
