As spring arrives in Brisbane, Davies Park is set to transform into a night market filled with street food, live music, and family-friendly entertainment.
Community Comes Together in West End
Davies Park will be transformed into a lively spring celebration as hundreds of stalls, food vendors, and entertainers gather for the West End Spring Solstice Twilight Market. The one-night community event is set to bring together families, friends, and neighbours in a space already known as one of Brisbane’s most popular weekend meeting places.
The twilight market will take place on Friday, 12 September, from 4 to 10 p.m. at the corner of Montague Road and Jane Street in West End. Entry is free. Visitors can explore more than 150 stalls, featuring everything from gourmet street food to artisan crafts.
A Night of Food, Music, and Family Fun
Food highlights include Nigerian dishes from Villa Pot, Japanese yakitori from Get To Bird, soufflé pancakes from Lamun, slow-cooked meats from Mr Pulled, and coconut desserts from Cocoart.
Live music will run throughout the evening, supported by roving performers and family-friendly activities. Entertainment will include a kids’ craft workshop, a children’s disco, a bubble fairy, and stilt walkers. A pop-up bar will be available for those looking to enjoy a drink while soaking in the festival atmosphere.
Linking Back to Local Traditions
Goodwill Projects, which runs the weekly West End Markets at Davies Park, also organises the Spring Solstice Twilight Market. These weekly markets have become a fixture of community life, drawing locals for fresh produce, handmade goods, and live entertainment.
By hosting a one-night seasonal event, organisers aim to expand on that community spirit while marking the arrival of spring in Brisbane.
How to Take Part
Attendees can register online for a free ticket, which also enters them into a draw to win a gourmet market hamper valued at more than $200. They can also RSVP through the official Facebook event page.
For families planning to join the kids’ craft workshop, early sign-ups are available to secure a spot.
