Fishermans Road Sunday Markets
A Sunday market run entirely by Lions Club volunteers for more than 20 years, with every dollar of profit going back into local projects.
About this market
Fishermans Road Sunday Markets has been run by the Lions Club of Mooloolaba for more than 21 years, staffed entirely by volunteer members who give their time for no monetary return. That community structure shapes everything about the market, from the modest entry setup to where the profits ultimately end up.
Two decades of volunteer-run community service
Every dollar of net profit raised here goes directly into Lions Club projects or local community organisations, a structure that turns a Sunday shopping trip into a small act of community support. Up to 128 stalls trade here weekly, offering a genuinely broad range: fresh produce, new and pre-loved clothing, pet treats, hand tools, books, fresh seafood, plants and seedlings, homemade toys, furniture, aquarium fish, and a full spread of breakfast food from egg and bacon burgers to sausage sizzles and espresso coffee.

Reviewers consistently describe genuinely good bargains and a friendly, community atmosphere, with several noting they've kept coming back for months in a row on consecutive Sundays, and plenty of parking making it an easy market to visit even during busy Sunshine Coast tourist season.
Every stallholder fee and purchase at Fishermans Road Sunday Markets ultimately supports Lions Club projects and local community organisations, since the market has been run entirely by volunteer Lions Club members for more than two decades.
Good to know before you go
Arriving early is worth it during peak tourist season, since parking near the market fills quickly even though the surrounding area offers plenty of space overall. Bringing the family dog along is a common sight here, given the market's genuinely relaxed, community-focused character.
