Greenslopes Is Getting a Brand New Outdoor Market

Live in Greenslopes and like strolling around market stalls, but don't want to venture too far on a Sunday morning? If so, you're in luck. Because every area of Brisbane needs its own outdoor space to stock up on farm-fresh produce and browse for handmade trinkets, Markets on the Lawn is bringing everyone's favourite weekend shopping activity to the inner eastern suburb.

Come July 31, you'll find all of the above at Greenslopes State School every week from 8am — and a place to enjoy a picnic and listen to live music as well. Here, you can pick up your groceries, grab a meal from a food truck, listen to a heap of tunes, take part in a workshop, and simply hangout and relax.

Think of Markets on the Lawn as a combination of the usual food and craft-focused affairs and a more lifestyle-oriented event. If you've been to the Stones Corner Street Market, then you should know what to expect. In fact, it's their success that has given rise to Brisbane's latest outdoor shopping gathering. At the rate new markets keep popping up around town, locals will soon be able to dedicate their entire weekends to hopping between different venues. Sounds tasty.

Markets on the Lawn kicks off at 8am on July 31 at Greenslopes State School. Check out the event's Facebook page for more information.
