Caloundra Twilight Markets are held on the last Friday of each month from 5 pm to 9 pm, along the Esplanade at Bulcock Beach. It is an evening market with art and craft stalls beside the beach and the ocean, so you can browse as the light fades.
The markets are operated by the Caloundra Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and entry is free.
When are the Caloundra Twilight Markets on?
The last Friday of the month, 5 pm to 9 pm. The organiser lists Friday 27 November as the next market. The markets take a short winter break, so check the dates for mid-year.
The Currimundi Lake market, run by the same organiser, is on the third Friday, so you can do both in the same month. See the Currimundi Twilight Market post.
What you will find
The organiser describes the Bulcock Beach markets as stalls selling art and crafts against the beach and ocean. The organiser’s site also promotes sunset dining and more than 70 stalls by the water across its twilight markets.
Other markets on the same site
The organiser’s site lists three more markets. The Caloundra Street Fair is on every Sunday from 8 am to 1 pm in Bulcock Street. The Christmas Street Fair and Tree Lighting Market is on Friday 27 November from 5 pm to 9 pm, also in Bulcock Street, the same night as the next twilight market. The Aura Fresh market is 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, 5 pm to 9 pm. An hour or two of browsing plus a meal fits easily.
- Dates: the market is held on the last Friday of the month, so it is a good fit for a Friday night out after work or a weekend trip to the Sunshine Coast. Check the organiser’s page for the winter break.
The market is an evening event, so treat it as a browse and dinner outing. If you want to make a day of Caloundra, the Kings Beach area is close by, and the two Chamber-run twilight markets give you two Friday nights a month to choose from: Currimundi on the third Friday and Bulcock Beach on the last.

The markets are on the Esplanade at Bulcock Beach in Caloundra. By car it is about 90 km from the Brisbane CBD, about 80 minutes without traffic. The organiser does not publish parking details, so allow time to find a spot on a busy Friday night.
