Day Trip To Eumundi Markets, Sunshine
Coast. Australia
Renowned
for its locally made artisan treasures, there’s no other market quite like it.
Mark it in your diary - open rain, hail or shine every Saturday and Wednesday. Step
into an ever-evolving collaboration of talented locals seeking to share their
gifts with the world. The Original Eumundi Markets is the biggest and the best
art and craft market in Australia. Meet the talented hands behind handcrafted
furniture, homewares, artworks, ceramics, cutting-edge fashion and jewellery,
and chat to the farmers and bakers selling fresh produce and gourmet delights. When
you need a shopping break, rejuvenate with a massage, have your palm read or
lose yourself in the stellar line-up of musicians and street performers. It’s
an experience like no other.
What does Woodford Folk Festival, the Noosa Food and Wine
Festival and The Original Eumundi Markets all have in common? Festival vibes.
You'll feel them as soon as you cruise into Memorial Drive, however Eumundi
Markets doesn't come with a hefty entrance fee. Get the feel-good vibes minus
the price tag and follow the whiff of market aromas, groove along to live music
and entertainment, discover artistic treasures and of course...you'll always
spot a few hippies getting around.
Shopping is alot more fun when it involves street food, live
music and bargains from local producers, designers and creative’s. There’s no
denying Queensland’s 50 shades of blue will take your breathe away, but in
between the beaches, reefs and islands is a unique experience with 50 plus
shades of colour. A dose of the Original Eumundi Markets is the best medicine.
Think warming aromas, live music, buzzing alleyways, authentic smiles and
there’s always a few hippies getting around. How can this not make you smile? It
doesn’t matter how many times you visit we, there’s an ever-evolving range of
artisan treasures to discover and this time we got to experience it on a
Wednesday.
The iconic and towering heritage listed fig trees rise above the 600
plus stall market. Wide shady walkways make strolling among the stalls and old
quirky buildings a pleasant experience. A plethora of all things locally
handmade, the market sells everything from delicately constructed craft to
organically grown produce. Their policy of make it, bake it, design it, sew it
or grow it, ensures that they select the very best of items and crafts.
