West End Solstice Market
The longest night of the year is on its way — and you can celebrate with 150-plus stalls, pop-up bars, glühwein, bonfires, live music and cocktails.
Overview
The mercury is dropping, days are getting shorter and actually wearing long sleeves in Brisbane is about to become a reality. Also on the way: not just winter, but the longest night of the year, with West End's Solstice Market returning to celebrate.
The inner-city suburb is no stranger to markets in general, of course, but this one will give the West End Markets a one-night-only spin on Friday, June 20. On the menu is all the food, drinks and stalls you'd expect — 150-plus stalls, in fact — plus live music and bonfires lighting up the night at Davies Park as well.
When you're not shopping for artisanal wares and grabbing a bite to eat — from spots including Little Caracas, Tibetan Dumpling and Choco Bliss — you can hit up the Swiss Alps-themed pop-up bar and sip glühwein.
Entry is free, as is parking, and the event runs from 4–10pm.
