Markets
The Sunshine Coast, with its relaxed community settings and subtropical weather that is comfortably warm for most of the year, is a region that is favourable to hosting outdoor markets, which occur at many locations from Caloundra in the south to Noosa in the north.
They are a popular pastime for locals as well as visitors who are keen to pick up their weekly fruit and vegetables, or snap up a unique item at a bargain, a quick bite to eat, or just browse and enjoy the offerings in a laidback atmosphere.
The markets offer a wide range of items, from local produce – including certified organic foods – through to prepared food, breads and pastries, cheeses and olives to name a few. These are compliments by arts and crafts, second hand items from general domestic items through to garden tools and collectables, general bric-a-brac, treatments and services that promote health and wellbeing, as well as flowers and plants for those seeking to beautify their little patch of the region.
Here is a list of local markets:
