Back in 2021, Brisbane scored a new riverside market — and it wasn't a once-off. Yes, Portside's markets are returning, because everyone likes shopping and hanging out by the water. And the theme of 2022's first event: Valentine's Day, of course.
If you and your other half really like browsing and buying, taking in the riverside air, and having a reason to stop for a bite and a drink, you'll want to head to Hamilton on Sunday, February 6. From 12–3pm, you can shop, stroll, sip and purchase gifts — a key point, given the theme — which sounds like a mighty fine weekend itinerary.
A heap of stalls will be offering up everything from art and plants to ceramics and accessories — and more, if you're stuck for present ideas.
And, if those hunger pangs strike — or you're just keen on having a drink — the precinct's usual restaurants and bars are right there, including everywhere from Pineapple Express Cafe, Bamboo Basket, Burrito Bar and Ginga Sushi to Mr & Mrs Jones, Belvedere Bar 'n' Grill, Byblos Bar and Restaurant, Gusto da Gianni and Sono.
