For those looking for a dose of retail therapy in Caloundra or an excellent spot to visit for more of a budget breakfast option away from the trendy cafes, the Caloundra Street Fair is an easy to recommend local institution. Operating on Sundays and featuring hundreds of diverse stalls selling all manner of local produce and crafts, this is the go-to destination in town for those who prefer their foodstuffs incredible fresh. With locally-sourced providers offering fruit and veggies as well as food stalls producing some delectable hot eats that range from fresh donuts to international cuisine, variety is the name of the game.
It's not merely food on offer at the Caloundra Street Fair, however, as both tourists looking for souvenirs and locals in search of miscellaneous goods will be able to enjoy browsing the diverse array of accessories on offer. Clothes, bags, jewellery, flowers and various other odds and ends can all be had for varying pricing levels, and it's hard not to be tempted into grabbing a bargain or three - although simply window shopping and admiring the talents of its exhibitors is fun in and of itself. Other side activities such as live street music and face painting for kids help round out the market's offerings, providing an excellent all-round morning of entertainment for those in Caloundra. Just try to arrive as early as possible in order to avoid the heat (as well as the crowds).
