Eat, Drink & Relax

The Fraser Coast has a suite of craft and produce markets that reflect the diversity of the region and draw locals and visitors alike to their bustling sites.

One of the largest and most regular markets is in Maryborough’s CBD each Thursday from 8am to 1.30pm where you will find 80 to 100 stalls and there’s also entertainment and characters in period costume. A vintage time cannon booming across the city at 1pm reminds market goers of a bygone era, when the cannon was used to set the time for the town’s inhabitants.

A new night market is also part of the Food ‘n Groove music and food event held on selected Fridays during summer months in City Park beside the Fraser Coast Cultural Centre at Hervey Bay. Foods from different cultures and great live music have made this a popular event attracting crowds of up to 5,000. Quality handmade clothing, playful jewellery, colourful artwork, vintage items, fresh organic produce and tasty homemade treats from stalls set up on the night are an added bonus at this event.

And that’s just an entreé to the vibrant markets scene the Fraser Coast has on offer.
