Meeanjin Markets 2021

Overview

There's no shortage of markets happening around Brisbane — pick a day, pick a spot, and you'll likely find a bunch of stalls selling a range of wares, especially as Christmas creeps closer. One thing that you won't usually come across, however, is a market dedicated to authentic First Nations' arts, crafts and experiences, which is what the one-day-only Meeanjin Markets is offering.

After first popping up in 2018, returning in 2019 and going digital in 2020, the city's first all-Indigenous market is back — and just in time for the gift-giving part of the year. Taking place at Reddacliff Place, the markets will highlight the work of local Queensland creators, while also celebrating the sights, sounds, creativity and flavours of the Australian bush.

That means there'll be dancing, music and cooking demonstrations, too — as well as plenty to buy from 41 First Nations' businesses, 32 of which are run by Indigenous women. Drop by between 9am–9pm on Friday, November 19.
