Whether it's a week day or weekend, a
fantastic way to start the day is at our markets. The famous Eumundi Market is
an iconic reflection of the Sunshine Coast's special culture. The market motto,
“Make it, bake it, grow it or sew it” is passionately observed by its dozens of
farmers, producers, artisans and craftsmen who set up their stalls before first
light under the shade of massive, ancient fig trees.
Sample locally grown macadamia nuts, fresh seasonal fruits or indulge in a
soothing aromatherapy foot massage. See the Eumundi Roses Lady surrounded by her
spectacular home grown roses and the Frangipani Man who sings to his plants. The
characters of the markets are as colourful as their produce.
Watch an artisan carving a sandstone statue or take timeout
under the shady trees while you listen to lively calypso or salsa tunes, or a
soulful bush poet.
Meet the growers and producers at the Noosa Farmer's Market
or step straight from a swim to one of the beachfront markets, cooled by gentle
sea breezes. Or you can experience authentic country-style markets, where
organic fruit and vegetables vie for attention with hand-dyed silks and
beautifully made handicrafts.
