Christmas Sunset by the River Vegan Markets

Overview

Since mid-2022, Queensland Vegan Markets has been setting up shop every few months at Portside Wharf, and giving northsiders — and anyone keen on browsing for cruelty-free wares by the river — a new go-to range of stalls. That's fine for most of the year, but Christmas calls for something special. So, for the first time at the Hamilton venue, QVM is hosting a twilight (and festive) market.

Christmas Sunset by the River Vegan Markets will take place from 5–9pm on Friday, December 9, giving you an after-work shopping option as well. As the daylight version does, this event will let you peruise more than 30 stalls, all selling animal-friendly wares.

And, if you're hungry while you browse, the plant-based spread will include everything from burgers, bao and katsu to custard-filled croissants, cupcakes and other sweet treats. Yes, you know the motto here: all of the taste, absolutely none of the animal products.

You'll have plenty of option, food-wise, as well as other cruelty-free wares to scope out. Also, the markets are pet-friendly, so you can bring your pooch along.

Entry is free, and so is the live music that'll soundtrack your vegan shopping.
