An Underwater Wonderland Is Coming to Redcliffe Markets Up Late

Redcliffe’s most anticipated evening event of the year is less than a month away, with Redcliffe Markets Up Late returning to Redcliffe Parade for a five-hour underwater-themed twilight spectacular.



The event takes place on Saturday 25 July from 4pm to 9pm. If you registered your interest back in June, this is your reminder to lock it in.

If you missed the earlier coverage, here’s what is heading to the Redcliffe foreshore: more than 250 stalls, gourmet street food from across South-East Queensland, live music, family-friendly activities and a roving cast of underwater performers that will move through the crowd all evening long.

Glowing roving stilt walkers, King Neptune accompanied by jellyfish performers, ethereal mermaids drifting through the market crowd, and Soul Cutz on the music stage make up the confirmed headline acts, with additional roving performers scattered across the site for the duration of the evening.

Expect an immersive layout where performers wander directly through the crowd rather than staying glued to a stage. The only exception is the main music stage, where headline acts like Soul Cutz will be pumping out tunes all evening.

For anyone bringing kids, that makes the evening considerably easier to navigate.

One free ticket, one chance at a $200 hamper

Entry to the markets remains free, and registering a free ticket enters you into a draw for a gourmet hamper valued at more than $200. With less than a month to go, now is the time to register and get it in the calendar before the July school holidays fill up.

Redcliffe Markets Up Late runs Saturday 25 July from 4pm to 9pm on Redcliffe Parade. Free parking is available at the north end of the markets and throughout surrounding streets. The Moreton Bay cycleway connects directly to the foreshore for those arriving by bike.

A market with deep roots in the Redcliffe community

The Redcliffe Markets have run every Sunday along Redcliffe Parade for years, establishing themselves as one of the Moreton Bay region’s most visited regular markets with more than 200 stalls, trawler-direct seafood, farm-direct produce, fresh-baked bread, artisan goods and live entertainment each week from 8am to 2pm.

The Up Late events are curated by Goodwill Projects, the same Queensland events company behind the Sunday market, which also operates the West End and Milton markets in Brisbane. July’s edition sits in the sweet spot of the Redcliffe winter calendar, when the peninsula’s ocean frontage is at its clearest and the evening temperature suits outdoor lingering.

The market is located along Redcliffe Parade beside the Redcliffe Jetty, with ample free parking at the north end of the markets and throughout the surrounding streets. The Moreton Bay cycleway also connects directly to the foreshore, making a bike ride to the event a practical alternative for those coming from nearby suburbs.

Redcliffe Markets Up Late runs Saturday 25 July from 4pm to 9pm on Redcliffe Parade. Register for a free ticket and the hamper draw here, or RSVP via Facebook.
