Redcliffe’s iconic seaside markets are preparing for a festive Easter weekend, with organisers promising two mornings packed with family fun, local stalls and community fundraising along the Redcliffe Parade foreshore.
The Redcliffe Markets Easter Extravaganza will take place on Good Friday (3 April) and Easter Sunday (5 April) from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., transforming the popular waterfront strip into a lively Easter hub featuring more than 250 stalls, live entertainment and activities for children.
Locals can expect the usual market favourites — handmade crafts, gourmet street food and artisan treats — alongside special Easter-themed attractions, including craft workshops for kids and appearances by the Easter Bunny for family photos.
Market coordinator Mark Power said the event builds on the long-standing tradition of the Redcliffe Markets as a weekend gathering point for locals and visitors.
“Easter is one of those times when families come together, and the markets are the perfect place to soak up the atmosphere by the water,” he said.
The event will also include a community fundraising element, with activities such as a dunk tank and rock wall raising money for Redcliffe Hospital. Every participation fee from the attractions will go towards supporting the hospital’s work in the local community.
Alongside the fundraising attractions, visitors can expect live music, Easter decorations and plenty of chocolate-themed treats throughout the market precinct.
The Redcliffe Markets are held weekly along the peninsula foreshore and regularly attract hundreds of stallholders selling handmade goods, produce and street food.
Organisers say the Easter edition aims to offer something for everyone — from families with young children to locals simply keen to enjoy a relaxed morning by the bay.
The Redcliffe Markets Easter Extravaganza is free to attend and will run from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday 3 April and Sunday 5 April at Redcliffe Parade.
Visitors are encouraged to bring the family, explore the stalls and enjoy a festive start to the Easter weekend on the Redcliffe waterfront.
