X Cargo Sunday Farmers Market

Overview

Usually, hanging out in the Valley at 6am on a Sunday morning is a sign of a big night — and one that's still going. But X Cargo is giving Brisbanites another reason to head by just as day is breaking.

Adding to the shipping container hangout's growing roster of regular events, the McLachlan Street spot is now home to a weekly Sunday Farmers Market. Kicking off on May 5, it'll keep going till midday (so if you can't give up your sleep-in, you can roll along before noon hits).

Stock up on fresh food of the seafood, meats, cheese, baked goods and gourmet condiments variety, with nuts, seeds, spices and salts all on offer as well. Bringing your pet pupper with you? There'll also be dog food available to buy, and a dog wash in operation.

X Cargo's bar and cafe also serves up breakfast and coffee, should you be feeling peckish and in need of a caffeinated buzz first thing. And, because it's the Valley, live music is also on the agenda. We suspect it won't start quite so early, however.
