Mother

Overview

Does your mum like homemade wares, barbecued meats and craft brews? Or, do you like eating and drinking the last two while you shop for the first? Either way, get on down to Mother, Wandering Cooks' new one-day festival.

Taking the woman that brought you into the world is highly encouraged, of course, when you head over to South Brisbane from midday on May 13. And no, that isn't a typo. You probably already have something planned for the Sunday May 14, aka Mother's Day, so this bit of fun is taking place on Saturday.

There'll be more pottery and ceramics than the ghost of Patrick Swayze could whip up thanks to Brush and Wheel, plenty of greenery courtesy of Mappins Nursery & Aquarium, plus rolls filled with Cuban-style, pasture-raised, pecan-fed pork cooked up by Shank Brothers BBQ and hand-crafted beers by Modus Operandi Brewing. Entry is free, which gives you an even better reason to extend your mum-centric celebration over the entire weekend.
