Spring Dessert Festival and Laneway Eats

Overview

If there's an occasion worth celebrating, including Christmas and winter, Woolloongabba's South City Square sure does like marking it with stalls. So, now that spring is in full swing, of course the inner-east precinct is rolling out the festivities — this time at a dessert festival on Saturday, September 16.

Running from 10am–4pm, Spring Dessert Festival and Laneway Eats will hero Japanese and Korean sweet treats among other bites. You'll also find market stalls slinging all kinds of wares at this family-friendly affair.

On the agenda as well: live tunes plus other entertainment. At past events, that's included dance performances — and, for kids, a jumping castle, face painting and twisted balloons.

It all tales place in and around a brick-lined, industrial-style space, which tends to make you feel like you're wandering around a European-style market.

Fancy seeing a movie while you're there? Take the opportunity to check out the precinct's brand-new Angelika Film Centre, which has only been open for a couple of weeks.
