Tamborine Mountain Markets are held on the last Sunday of every month, from 7 am to 1 pm, on the grounds of Tamborine Mountain State School. With over 130 stalls, local musicians and food and coffee, it is the mountain’s big monthly community market.
The market is run by the school’s P&C to support the school, so what you spend goes to a local cause.
When are the Tamborine Mountain Markets on?
The last Sunday of each month, 7 am to 1 pm. The organisers list Sunday 29 November as the next date, and their 2026 list does not include a December market, so check before you plan a Christmas visit.
Starting early is worth it. The market opens at 7 am and the street parking nearby fills up as the morning goes on.
What you will find at the markets
The organisers describe over 130 stalls, from fresh organic produce to handmade artisan gifts. You will also find vintage finds, artwork, jewellery and plants.
For breakfast or lunch there is hot food, fresh coffee and sweet treats, and local musicians play through the morning.
Planning your visit
- How long: the market runs for six hours, from 7 am to 1 pm. Most people will want one to two hours to wander the stalls, listen to the music and stop for a coffee.
- Best time: early, for the best choice of produce and plants and the easiest parking.
- What to bring: a reusable bag or two for produce and plants, some cash, a hat and sunscreen for the open school grounds, and a lead if your dog is coming.
- Combine it: the mountain has plenty to fill the rest of the day. The organisers link the Gallery Walk, the Botanic Gardens, the Skywalk, Thunderbird Park, the Glow Worm Caves and several wineries, distilleries and a brewery from their website.
Parking at Tamborine Mountain Markets
The market is held in the school car park, so you park on the street. Arrive early for the closest spots, and be patient on busy days.
Are dogs allowed at Tamborine Mountain Markets?
Yes, if your dog is social and on a lead. Owners must pick up after their dogs.
Getting there
The school is at the corner of Curtis Road and Long Road in North Tamborine. It is about 70 km from the Brisbane CBD, about 70 minutes by car without traffic. The last stretch is the winding drive up the mountain, so allow a little extra.
