Peregian Beach Market: Dates, Stalls and Parking

Peregian Beach Market is a free community market held on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month at Peregian Beach Park on Kingfisher Drive. It has more than 100 stalls of crafts, gifts, ethical fashion and food, with free live music.

It sits beside the surf club and the beach, so it pairs well with an early swim or a coffee in the village afterwards.

Peregian Beach Market dates and times

The market runs on the first and third Sunday of each month and finishes at 12.30 pm. Noosa Council’s events listing gives a 7.30 am start, while Visit Noosa lists 7 am, so plan to arrive from about 7.30 am and treat 7 am as the earliest.

Because it is only on twice a month, check the dates before you go. A fifth Sunday does not have a market.

Entry is free. Noosa Council calls it a free community event and lists Sunshine Coast Music and Events as the contact.

What you will find at Peregian Beach Market

Stalls sell crafts, gifts, ethical fashion and food. Visit Noosa lists native plants, local arts and crafts, handmade jewellery, artisan ceramics, sustainable fashion and farm produce, along with an edited selection of food trucks and market stalls.

Live music plays during the market and is free. Stalls change from market to market, so the market’s Facebook page is the best place to see who is on.

Is Peregian Beach Market dog friendly?

Noosa Council’s listing tags the market as puppy friendly. It does not give any rules, so check with the organisers if you are unsure.

Making a morning of it

The market finishes at 12.30 pm, so you have the rest of the day free. Peregian Beach itself is right there: the market winds around the grassy area next to the surf club and the beach, so the patrolled beach is close by. The Peregian Beach guide covers swimming, parking and things to do.

For a walk, Noosa Heads is about 15 minutes by car to the north, with Noosa National Park beside it. Read the Noosa National Park guide for parking and the walks.

Heading south, Coolum Beach is about 10 minutes by car, with its own beach and the Mount Coolum summit walk. See Coolum Beach and Mount Coolum.

If you want a weekly market rather than a twice-monthly one, Noosa Farmers Market is about 25 minutes away by car in Noosaville and runs every Sunday. Check the Noosa Farmers Market guide for its hours.

Planning your visit

• How long: allow one to two hours for the stalls, longer if you add a swim or lunch.
• Best time: early, when the stalls are fresh and the morning is cooler.
• Cost: free entry. Bring money for the stalls and food.
• What to bring: a hat, sunscreen, bags for your purchases, and swimmers and a towel if you want a dip.
• Facilities and accessibility: toilet and accessibility details are not published by the organiser or council, so ask through the market’s Facebook page if you need them.

Getting there and parking

By car, Peregian Beach Market is about 125 km by road from the Brisbane CBD, about 105 minutes without traffic. It is held at Peregian Beach Park, Kingfisher Drive, beside the surf club and the beach.

The council listing and Visit Noosa do not publish parking or public transport details for the market, so allow extra time to find a spot on a busy Sunday and plan a trip with the Translink Journey Planner.

After the market, Visit Noosa suggests a leisurely lunch in the village’s nearby main square.
