The Redcliffe community is preparing for a large-scale Easter celebration this Good Friday. Redcliffe Markets hosts special two-day events along Redcliffe Parade featuring numerous stalls, food options, family entertainment, and race-viewing opportunities.
Event Details
Organisers have planned market days for Good Friday and Easter Sunday, providing ample opportunity for residents and visitors to join the festivities. Both market days will run from 8:00 am until 2:00 pm along Redcliffe Parade. The location also offers vantage points for viewing the start of the annual Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race as the vessels head out on Good Friday.
Market Attractions
Over 200 stallholders are expected across the two days, showcasing a diverse range of products. Shoppers can explore handmade goods from local artisans, including bespoke fashion items, unique homewares, and potential Easter gifts.
Alongside the artisan stalls, a wide selection of gourmet food and street eats will be available. Food trucks will offer savoury options like Korean-style corn dogs, gourmet sausages, South American empanadas, and Philly cheesesteaks. Sweet treats will also be plentiful, with choices such as fairy floss, specialty sodas, home-baked cookies, soft serve ice cream, and various chocolate delights.
Family Fun and Entertainment
The Easter markets aim to provide a fun experience for all ages. The Easter Bunny is scheduled to make special appearances on both Good Friday and Easter Sunday between 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. for meet-and-greets, offering families a chance for photos. A returning favourite, the Redcliffe Markets Easter Scavenger Hunt, will challenge participants to follow clues or gather stamps from different stallholders.
Completing the hunt gives entry into a draw for a prize. Live music and other entertainment will contribute to a lively market atmosphere throughout the events, and children’s arts and crafts activities are also planned, particularly for the Good Friday market. Organisers encourage the community to gather family and friends for what they describe as an exceptional weekend event.
