But did you know about the Friday markets?
While Wednesdays and Saturdays capture the major spotlight, Eumundi holds a wonderful secret for families looking for a relaxed weekday outing. Every Friday from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm, Eumundi Square comes alive with its own unique, family-focused charm.
Tucked just off the main street, Eumundi Square is a true hidden gem featuring a curated precinct of permanent micro-boutiques set around a sun-dappled, grassy courtyard. It offers a delightfully stress-free environment for parents with young children. Wide, pram-friendly pathways make navigating a breeze, while parking is exceptionally convenient.
Eumundi Square’s boutiques are filled with charming gifts and beautiful finds for little ones.
While parents sip locally roasted coffee and browse bespoke children’s clothing, handcrafted wooden toys, and unique artisan gifts, little ones can safely stretch their legs on the central green. During the school holidays, Eumundi Square shines even brighter as a community hub, hosting free children’s activities to keep little hands busy without breaking the bank.
Handcrafted wooden toys are among the unique treasures families can discover at Eumundi Square.
