Pomona Country Markets
A weekly Saturday market in Stan Topper Park, open rain, hail or shine, with live music and a silent movie at noon.
About this market
Pomona Country Markets runs every Saturday from 7am to noon in Stan Topper Park, on Reserve Street, and its organisers promise it is open rain, hail or shine. They describe it as the place for locals in the Noosa hinterland to start their weekly shopping, with a family-friendly vibe.
Locally grown, locally made, with music
The stall list covers locally grown produce and locally made arts, crafts and natural products, along with bric-a-brac. Handmade clothing, jewellery, pottery, candles, soaps, honey and plants are all listed, and live music runs from 10am to noon.
There are extras around the stalls as well, including yoga, massage and haircuts. The market's contact email is at the Majestic Theatre, and a silent movie screens at the theatre every Saturday at noon, so the market and the cinema fit together into one morning. The theatre was built in 1921 as a social hall, and Wikipedia describes it as the oldest silent movie theatre still operating, with a still functional rare 1936 Compton organ.
Market at a glance
Before you go
Pomona is in the Shire of Noosa, about 135 km north of Brisbane, and had a population of 2,931 at the 2021 census. The town was called Pinbarren Siding from 1890 to 1900, and Mount Cooroora, rising to 439 metres, stands about 2 km south-west of it. The railway to Pomona began operating in 1891, and in 1925 district farmers sent 14,924 cases of bananas alone to Brisbane and southern markets. The town was the administrative centre of the Noosa Shire Council from 1910 until 1980, and the shire's original 1911 headquarters now house the Cooroora Historical Society and Noosa Shire Museum.
The market's stall counts, entry fee and parking are not listed on its website, so check the Facebook page, @marketspomona, or the Instagram account, @pomonacountrymarkets, for anything specific. The market contact is [email protected].
A silent movie screens at the Majestic Theatre every Saturday at noon, just as the market winds down.
Plan to arrive before the live music starts at 10am for a quieter browse, and stay on for the noon film.
