Regional Markets 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 7am to noon where you will find 80 to 100 stalls and there’s also entertainment and a vintage time cannon booming across the city at 1pm as a reminder of a bygone era, when the cannon was used to set the time for the town’s inhabitants. Another local favourite is the summer food market, a feature of Food ‘n Groove Fridays live music events held on selected Fridays during summer months at Seafront Oval. Food trucks line the oval offering a wide variety of cuisines, satiating hunger pangs as crowds of up to 3000 kick back on chairs and picnic rugs enjoying great local bands and artists. Throughout the Fraser Coast there are many market options with quality handmade clothing, playful jewellery, colourful artwork, plants, fresh organic produce, and tasty homemade treats on offer.
