Brisbane City Markets

Brisbane


Central Brisbane lives out its bucolic village fantasies when local growers and artisans descend on Reddacliff Pl to sell their prized goods. Fill your shopping bags with fruit and vegetables, meat, seafood, artisan breads, pastries, raw honey and more. Stock up for a picnic in the City Botanic Gardens, or simply grab a coffee and a ready-to-eat, multiculti bite.

A smaller edition takes place every Thursday from 8am to 2.30pm in Cathedral Sq, located on the corner of Ann and Wharf Sts.
