This welcoming produce market has everything from glossy avocados bigger than your fist, plump olives, trays of fragrant ripe strawberries, fresh macadamias, local seafood, cheeses and lots more.

If you forget your shopping bags (or you’ve already filled the ones you did bring), you can pick up beautiful baskets and string bags from the ever-popular Farmer Drew.

This enchanting country market, just 15 minutes from Noosa, is famous for a reason. It boasts over 500 stalls selling arts, crafts, fashion, fresh produce, gifts and more. Lots of small stall holders try out their business ideas at Eumundi first before moving into permanent premises on the Sunshine Coast.

So if you’re after the next big thing (our money is on Rod’s Brazilian Tapioca – a gluten free snack brimming with savoury or sweet fillings), don’t miss this market.

The ferry stops right at the Noosa Marina Markets, so hop off and wander past the stalls with their brightly coloured marquees.

Live music and entertainment from local and interstate musicians make for a festive atmosphere, so it’s easy to spend a lazy Sunday sampling the local produce, buying local handicrafts and browsing the nearby boutiques.

This market is the spot to pick up stunning second-hand items of clothing and play your role in ‘circular’ fashion.

There’s such a lovely, chilled-out feel to this market, that we wouldn’t be surprised if you end up making some new friends as well as some new purchases.

The entertainment here is often a highlight – with musicians and dancers, a jumping castle and face painters.

It’s a small, community market, but the food stalls are superb – we can’t get enough of the BBQ pork buns.

Looking for homemade buttermilk doughnuts, Italian linen clothing, pearl earrings or timber utensils? This is the place for you.

You can have a massage, listen to live music, stock your pantry with artisanal treats and then have a dip in the inviting ocean. Sounds like a perfect Sunday to us.

For the hungry hordes, there’s tacos and tosadas, Japanese dishes and Korean hotpots, and of course there’s always room for dessert.

While there’s a pop-up bar with happy hour prices all night, this is definitely a family-friendly market.

In the heart of beautiful Pomona is a market that’s going to make you feel like your Nan is standing beside you. We’re talking seedlings, home-made cakes and slices, dried fruit and nuts, collectibles, plants and vintage items.

There’s free parking and the paths are wheelchair and pram friendly. What more could you want on a Saturday morning?

Welcome the weekend the right way by grabbing dinner from the Marcoola Market. Foodies have their work cut out for them – from pork belly rolls and crispy spring rolls to burgers with the lot and okonomiyaki.

Whatever you do, don’t miss dessert – we think a lemon passionfruit donut from Donut Kitchen is just the thing you need to feel those weekend vibes on the Sunshine Coast.
