West End Christmas Twilight Market 2023

Overview

Loving Christmas is easy, especially when Brisbane delivers plenty of ways each year to get into the festive spirit. But here's the secret about Christmas markets: even if you're not usually a fan of the season and all the trimmings, who doesn't adore an excuse to spend an evening browsing, buying, eating and drinking, all under glittering lights?

The West End Christmas Twilight Market is one such place to do all of the above in 2023, taking place from 4–10pm on Friday, December 1. Once quittin' time comes for the week, make a beeline to the West End Markets' usual spot in Davies Park and prepare to get jolly — or to make the most of another night market, no matter your feelings on the theme.

A familiar festive spread will be on offer, which involves a heap of stalls — 180-plus, in fact — to shop for artisanal gifts, Christmas decorations all over the place, live entertainment and Mariah getting a spin on the stereo. Kids can also get the obligatory snap with Santa.

And, the food and drink menu will go all in on Christmas fare. Try saying "bah, humbug!" to that.
