Peregian Beach markets returned last Sunday for the first time since Covid-19 restrictions shut it down in March.
New coordinator Lea Bye said the market layout had been changed to create a food market in the middle and stalls separated to comply with covid-restrictions.
She said the online radio Liquid Radio would be streaming from the markets and other new items included a jumping castle with a climbing wall to follow.
Lea also runs the Noosa Junction Twilight Markets and Mooloolaba Sunset Markets as well as other local events and music festivals.
She said stallholders were pleased to be back. “Some of the stallholders have been here for 30 years. They haven’t missed a market,“ she said.
Lea said she expected the Noosa Junction Twilight Markets to reopen next month when Covid-19 restrictions were relaxed.
Market income goes toward funding Peregian Surf Life Saving.
