Artisan Markets and Family Theatre Highlight a Busy Wednesday on the Coast

Mid-Week Wonders Across the Sunshine Coast

The mid-week stretch on the Sunshine Coast is anything but dull this Wednesday, March 25, 2026. From the leafy canopies of the hinterland to the coastal shores of Caloundra and Coolum, today offers a rich tapestry of cultural experiences, family-friendly activities, and artisan shopping. Whether you are looking to unearth a unique gift, enjoy a morning of live performance, or engage with local art, there is a diverse range of activities happening right in our backyard.

Artisan Treasures at the Eumundi Markets

The world-renowned Original Eumundi Markets are in full swing today from 7:30 AM to 2:00 PM. As one of the largest artisan markets in the Southern Hemisphere, Eumundi is the premier destination for those who appreciate local craftsmanship and a bohemian atmosphere. Visitors can wander through hundreds of stalls nestled under heritage trees, featuring everything from hand-turned woodwork and bespoke jewellery to unique fashion and local artworks. The experience is elevated by the presence of talented street performers and the enticing aromas of international street food, making it a perfect morning outing for locals and tourists alike.

Theatrical Magic for the Little Ones

For families and theatre enthusiasts, The Events Centre in Caloundra is hosting a delightful stage adaptation of the beloved children’s book, "Where is the Green Sheep?" with a morning performance starting at 10:00 AM. This charming production brings Mem Fox’s iconic characters to life through clever puppetry, catchy music, and imaginative set design. It is an ideal opportunity for parents and caregivers to introduce toddlers and primary school children to the magic of live performance in a professional and welcoming environment.

Community and Art Highlights

Beyond the markets and the stage, several community and exhibition spaces are hosting events today:

• Coolum Beach Library Storytime: Starting at 9:30 AM, this interactive session is designed for children aged 2 to 5 years. It focuses on fostering early literacy through a mix of engaging stories, songs, and rhymes, providing a great space for local families to connect.
• Rocket Science Exhibition: Located at the Cool Art Gallery, this contemporary exhibition features the work of artist Michael Brennan. It is a must-visit for those interested in modern visual narratives and the high-quality professional art being produced in our region.
