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.

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.

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.
