Christmas in July Twilight Pop-Up Markets at VEND Annerley

Overview

Anything that Brisbane's north can do, the River City's south can do too, or so says indoor marketplace VEND. Earlier in 2023, it expanded its footprint to give its OG Virginia site an Annerley sibling. Now, the pet-friendly shopping hub is also spreading its popular events to the other side of the river.

How is VEND's second location celebrating its first winter? With Christmas in July markets, of course. And, it's getting in before Virginia, getting festive from 4–9pm on Saturday, July 8.

Here, more than 120 small local businesses will embrace the midyear mood, complete with bites to eat, a pop-up cocktail bar and a best-dressed contest with a $100 voucher as a prize.

And yes, winter in Brisbane means spending every weekend hopping between excuses to pretend that Christmas arrives during our chillier months. Who doesn't want to get merry all throughout winter, then again when present-giving season actually arrives?
