Christmas Markets

The South Bank Christmas Markets presented by eatSouthBank will be open from 11-23 December, offering the magic of a traditional Christmas market with a distinctly Brisbane twist.

Visitors will enjoy delicious festive fare from the ready-to-eat stalls at the market's Christmas Pantry. A special Gifting Lane will host popular Christmas gift options including wooden children’s toys, hand-poured candles and jewellery. 

In addition, live carol singers, children’s entertainers and musicians will ensure the festive frivolity of the season is enjoyed by all. The markets are on from 11am-8pm daily, except 17-21 December when they will be open until 9pm.

Other Chistmas events taking place in South Bank include the Christmas Fireworks Spectacular (17 - 21 Dec), Christmas Cinema Series (17 - 23 Dec) and South Bank Christmas Carols (17 - 20 Dec).
