Portside Wharf Plant and Flower Market

Overview

Portside is no stranger to hosting markets, but its latest excuse to browse and buy will be positively blooming. After holding Mother's Day markets and welcoming in a dedicated vegan market, the Hamilton spot is devoting a blossoming day to plants and flowers.

Head along from 10am–2pm on Saturday, July 16 to find all things floral taking over the riverside precinct, including 30-plus stalls to shop and a supremely photogenic flower wall. Portside Wharf Plant and Flower Market is also handing out freebies, too — with 100 free baby succulents, 50 free coffees and 50 free ice creams up for grabs for folks who get there early.

As well as plants and flowers, there'll also be stalls slinging art, ceramics, handmade jewellery, pet treats and clothes fashion. If you've been to markets at the Gasworks, or in Fish Lane, Coorparoo and Gabba South City, you'll have a firm idea of what you're in for — because The Market Folk is behind all of the above, and is running this new Portside pop-up as well.

Love plants, and also want something unique to put them in? That's where the free succulent pot painting workshop comes in.

To give your shopping a soundtrack, live tunes by Sam Perren will echo through the precinct. And, if those hunger pangs strike — or you're just keen on having a drink — everywhere from Sono, Bamboo Basket, Burrito Bar and Ginga Sushi to Mr & Mrs Jones, Belvedere Bar 'n' Grill, Byblos Bar and Restaurant and Gusto da Gianni will be open.
