This guide quotes market days and hours as each organiser’s own web page words them, then sets out what Brisbane City Council says about how markets are permitted. Every time below was read on 10 November 2026, so confirm with the organiser before you travel. The Council page and the organiser pages show no last-updated date in the text read, so the 10 November 2026 read date is the only date available.

A market that appears in an operator’s list can still pause. At 10 November 2026, the Rivermakers page says the operator made the difficult decision to postpone future Rivermakers Markets. At 10 November 2026, it says the pause comes as the operator clarifies the statutory approvals in response to a single complaint by a neighbouring business.
