Whether you're keen on festive produce, design wares, locally made gifts, a North Pole bar or Christmas pudding-flavoured ice cream, there's a seasonal market for it in Brisbane.
This week, you and your plus one can get feasting at Brisbane Powerhouse's night markets — complete with art and tunes — and at a spring seafood festival.
Sip shiraz over 'Scrabble', polish off a pint with a game of pool, pair cocktails with karaoke or mash buttons with a brew in your hand.
Head upstairs at Stanley to find this new Hong Kong-Inspired lounge bar on the Howard Smith Wharves restaurant's revamped second level.
Take a splash and listen to DJ-spun tunes, then enjoy margaritas, Baja cod tacos and seasoned corn ribs, all in the middle of Brisbane.
