Australia’s largest and best artisan market, The Original Eumundi Markets, opened in 1979! There were only three stalls and eight customers back then. The Original Eumundi Markets are now recognised and adored throughout Australia and abroad for their magnificent, locally crafted treasures, with more than 600 stalls to explore and more than 1.2 million visitors annually.

Saturdays from 7 am to 2 pm and Wednesdays from 8 am to 2 pm are The Original Eumundi Markets market days. Go and enter a dynamic community of gifted locals who want to share their talents with the world. That’s not all, though. Live performances are also available at The Original Eumundi Markets.

Live Entertainment

Tierney & Soula Giannitis are the market’s featured artists on July 9. Pat Tierney, a lap slide guitarist and roots troubadour, infuses all he does with a diverse and enthralling musical experience. Pat’s music combines elements of folk, blues, roots, and soul while drawing inspiration from artists like Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens, and Ben Harper. The Sunshine Coast is home to the multifaceted singer-songwriter known as Soula. Her deep love of world music and various cultures contributed to developing her distinctive style and sound, soulful and energetic as well as subtle yet potent.

Catch Those Folks & Demi Casha on July 16. The transpacific troubadours known as “Those Folk” are Lawrence Menard (USA) and Clare Quinn (AUS), who are charismatic, sincere, and utterly entertaining. Music for all types of folk is created by “Those Folk,” not simply folk music. Demi Casha is a psychedelic folk rock performer that gives every show her all. Her song’s dramatic movement shows influences from 1970s rock & roll.

There’s more, though! Three events are scheduled as part of The Curated (side) Plate 2022 at The Original Eumundi Markets. To share his experiences, passion for food, and relationship with the Original Eumundi Markets, they are happy to welcome Matt Golinski to the markets.
