About

CREATION, CONNECTION, COMMUNITY
A grassroots platform for our creative community to gather together and showcase their craft to the Sunshine Coast and those visiting from afar.
We hope you enjoy a truly local experience, whether you have been here forever, just moved in, or are on holiday! Our regional city is small-town at heart and big with creative energy!

CREATION:

Is at the heart of everything we do. We are a curated, boutique market where quality is valued over quantity. We believe in celebrating creative small businesses and providing a platform for those who desire to make a better impact on our world by hand-making their products, restoring vintage finds, or ethically sourcing the items they sell.

Whether you are a maker or designer we would love to hear from you! Head to our apply page to get started on your application and check out our FAQ’s!

CONNECTION:

Our aim is to hold space for artisans to connect, encourage and inspire one another. The creative process can be a vulnerable and lonely journey at times. Local markets provide a beautiful opportunity for creators and makers to connect, forge friendships, and collaborate! 

COMMUNITY:

We love our community!! Our aim is to be a home for our local and visiting community to gather, drink great coffee, eat delicious food, and get inspired by our artisans! We are dog and family-friendly with lawn games, live music, and two playgrounds to keep your Sunday stress-free and super fun!

 

Operating since 2016, your support is what keeps us here! Every purchase you make at the markets supports a local family and keeps our small business economy going. Thank you for shopping small and supporting local. YOU. ARE. AMAZING.

Who are we?

Just a couple of local kids doing what we love! 

Candace … our market Queen!

All things event management and business operations, she is the woman behind it all! This gal is 3rd gen sunny coaster and comes from a long line of small business owners in the region so she is intimately acquainted with both the challenges and rewards of running a small business on the coast! Passionate about shopping small and supporting local she understands the innate value of a truly local market and how it can be the birthplace of inspiration, innovation, and community connection. 

Kodan … muscle man and rope boy!

And we could not do it without him! You can find Kodan at 4am on market morning with a tool belt around his waist, throwing up marquees and laying out ropes to make sure the market layout is good to go! Fondly known as Coach Kodan to the local skate crowd, you can find him skate coaching throughout the week, enjoying the surf, or playing ball with his mates! Having run countless events for the skate community over the last 10 years he is not just a pretty face but a go-to for community collaboration! What a legend!
