Currimundi Twilight Market is held on the third Friday of the month, from 4 pm to 8 pm, at Westaway Parade by Currimundi Lake on the Sunshine Coast. It is a food-focused evening market with up to 20 food stalls serving international dishes.
It is run by the Caloundra Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the market page says it uses existing street lighting, has no single-use plastics and uses eco-friendly packaging.
When is the Currimundi Twilight Market on?
The third Friday of the month, 4 pm to 8 pm, except in winter. The organiser lists Friday 20 November as the next market. It does not say which months make up the winter break, so check before a mid-year visit.
The same organiser runs the Caloundra Twilight Markets on the last Friday, so the two markets fall in different weeks.
What you will find
Food is the draw. The organiser lists up to 20 food stalls with international options, including Greek, Italian and tacos.
Used cans go to a local care group
Used cans from the market are donated to the Currimundi Catchment Care Group.
Other markets from the same organiser
The organiser’s site also lists the Caloundra Street Fair every Sunday from 8 am to 1 pm in Bulcock Street, and the Aura Fresh market on the first Friday of the month from 4 pm to 8 pm at the corner of Central Avenue and Whiteley Avenue, Nirimba.
Planning your visit
- How long: the market runs for four hours, 4 pm to 8 pm. Plan on an hour or two, longer if you are settling in for dinner.
- Cans: used cans from the market are collected for the Currimundi Catchment Care Group.
- Plan for dinner: with up to 20 food stalls and no BYO alcohol, it works as an easy dinner out. Have a look around the stalls before you choose.
A market that avoids single-use plastic
Stallholders use eco-friendly packaging and the market has no single-use plastics, so bring your own bag and cutlery if you can. It uses the existing street lighting, with no extra lighting, to avoid disturbing local wildlife such as nesting turtles.
Two twilight markets, one organiser
The Caloundra Chamber of Commerce and Industry runs both this market and the Caloundra Twilight Markets at Bulcock Beach. Currimundi is the food-focused one, with a lake setting, while Bulcock Beach is lined with art and craft stalls along the Esplanade. If you only have one Friday, pick the one that suits what you want: dinner at Currimundi, or browsing by the ocean at Caloundra.
Getting there
The market is on Westaway Parade at Currimundi Lake. By car it is about 90 km from the Brisbane CBD, about 80 minutes without traffic. The organiser does not publish parking details.
