Christmas is coming to Rocklea, and that shouldn't come as a surprise. The Brisbane Markets love celebrating an occasion, so dedicating three Saturday mornings in December to all things festive was always bound to happen.
Taking place from 6am–12pm on Saturday, December 10, 17 and 24 — yes, even on Christmas Eve — Christmas Lane will be filled with holiday supplies. If you normally do your grocery shopping here, then your ham, prawn and produce needs will be sorted. But stocking your shelves and fridge at home is just one part of the market.
For presents, you'll be able to browse the markets' dedicated gift area (just don't let your loved ones see what you're buying them). Think: arts and crafts, homewares, fashion, jewellery and other handmade goods. If you're keen on giving plants and flowers — or food — you'll find them here as well.
And, because all of that shopping is hungry work, you can nab breakfast onsite. Expect entertainment as a soundtrack, too — likely something that'll make you feel mighty jolly.
