Brisbane City:
Markets guide
From farm-fresh produce to handmade jewellery, Brisbane City’s markets have got the goods! There are flavours to sample, second-hand treasures to uncover and handmade creations you’ll be tempted to snap up. Between the fresh produce, gourmet treats and market finds, good luck leaving with just one bag.
Brisbane City Markets | every Wednesday & Thursday
One market stop is rarely enough, which is why Brisbane City Markets pop up across Brisbane City throughout the week. The city takes over Reddacliff Place every Wednesday from 8am-6pm, and Cathedral Square and Queen’s Wharf every Thursday from 8am-2pm. Arrive hungry for everything from fresh juices and hot doughnuts to falafel pita and Spanish paella. You’ll also find fresh produce, meats and seafood to take home with you. And if your bags aren't quite full yet, look through the artisan makers, handmade treasures and live entertainment to the mix, making it even harder to leave empty-handed.
Riverside at the Gardens Market | every Sunday
Riverside walks and market stalls go hand in hand at Riverside at the Gardens Market. Held in the City Botanic Gardens every Sunday from 8am-3pm, wander and unpack dozens of stallholders selling everything from fresh produce to arts and crafts and jewellery. There’s live music and entertainment for adults and children alike – all set against the beautiful gardens and Brisbane River. It's the perfect riverside spot for a Sunday – pick up a coffee, wander the riverside pathways and see what catches your eye along the way.
Brisbane Twilight Markets | selected Friday nights
If you've ever wondered about the person behind your favourite market find, Brisbane Twilight Markets is the place to ask. Presented by the BrisStyle collective, the market showcases 100% locally made products, giving visitors the opportunity to meet the makers behind everything from art to homewares, fashion and jewellery. Local food vendors dish out delicious eats, live music sets the mood and free craft workshops offer the chance to get creative yourself. Keep an eye on their websites for market dates as these are scattered throughout the year.
Suitcase Rummage | first and third Sunday of each month
One person's clean-out is another person's greatest-ever market find. Held on the first and third Sunday of every month at Reddacliff Place, Suitcase Rummage sees suitcases packed with pre-loved fashion, bric-a-brac, handmade goods and unexpected finds lined up and ready for rummaging. Come along for a browse to see what catches your eye, or, if you have old threads you're ready to part with – book a stall. Pack your suitcase full of goodies to sell and don’t be surprised if you head home with a completely different collection inside.
Genki Market | every Sunday
Cherry blossoms overhead, street food in hand and market stalls to explore – sounds like a good Sunday to us! Experience the vibrant Brisbane Genki Market along Charlotte Street, with a celebration of Asian culture featuring Japanese-inspired eats alongside homemade homewares, jewellery, candles, soaps and ceramics. Between the record crates, artisan creations and pre-loved treasures, it's easy to lose track of time between all the tasty eats.
