Christmas Cheer Takes Over Davies Park at West End Christmas Twilight Market

Davies Park is set to shimmer under twinkling lights, as the West End Christmas Twilight Market bursts to life with festive flavour, family fun, and over 150 stalls celebrating Brisbane’s vibrant creative community.



Running from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday, 5 December, the event promises an evening of handcrafted gifts, gourmet street food, live entertainment, and more than a little Christmas mischief courtesy of Santa himself.

Visitors can wander through a sprawling marketplace filled with artisan wares, handmade treasures, and unique stocking stuffers crafted by local makers. Whether you’re seeking a meaningful, locally made Christmas gift or simply soaking up the festive buzz, the twilight market delivers a warm, welcoming atmosphere that captures the spirit of West End.

Foodies can indulge in dishes from some of SEQ’s favourite street food vendors, including Barbie on Charcoal, Kaysers Smoke Train, and Cup & Cone Ice Cream Co., alongside a range of global flavours that reflect the neighbourhood’s cultural diversity. A dedicated North Pole pop-up bar will keep spirits merry with Blood Orange Spritz and icy brews ideal for a balmy Brisbane evening.

Entertainment is set to be a highlight of the night, with TRACE Cover Band providing live festive tunes, supported by roving performers and a lively Kids’ Disco guaranteed to get Brisbane’s littlest elves dancing. And, in true Christmas tradition, Santa Claus will be making special appearances for photos, laughs, and a few cheeky “naughty or nice” check-ins.
