Much Ado About the Weekend

Seam Magazine recommends a few recreational outings to keep you occupied this sunny Brisbane weekend…

Friday

Semi-Permanent Brisbane – SOLD OUT
Hope you got your early bird tickets because this celebration of design and creativity is full to its boater-hat brim.
Happening all day today at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre. After party at Nine Lives Gallery from 6pm

Bleeding Heart City Markets
Handmade, arty, crafty and vintage wares by local creatives decorate the balcony and front yard of this city gallery slash café today.
First Friday of the Month
10AM – 4PM

GreazeFest Kustom Kulture Festival
I love a little bit of pin-up prancing (doing) and rockabilly dancing (watching). Rumour has it Sunday is the best day to pop over to this “crankin” weekend of hot rods, half-sleeves and polka-dots, but it is on Friday and Saturday nights too. Friday 8PM - 1AM, Saturday 7.30PM - 12.30AM, Sunday 9AM - 5PM

Saturday

Valley Laneway Markets
Handmade designs by new and old Winn Lane friends straddle this popular laneway. Regulars Flamingo Café, Little Jane St and Sunday Social open too. Your ears might even be treated to a little local sound if you’re in the right place at the right time.
9AM – 3PM

Ric’s Backyard Suitcase Rummage
On the first Saturday of every month, Ric’s are hosting the infamous Suitcase Rummage. Grab a vintage hatbox, fill it with some junk or homemade goods, and bicycle on down to the Valley (registration essential). Or just come chill on the astroturf with your beverage of choice.
12PM – 5PM

Winter Jumble Sale
The Animal Welfare League of Queensland is holding its own pre-loved clothing rummage, with the money raised going towards caring for thousands of homeless animals. Help save a puppy or two and buy a vintage dress for $2 or fill a bag for $5. Now that’s a thoughtful bargain if I ever did see one.
10AM – 1PM
AWLQ Coombabah Rehoming Centre

Sunday

Young Designers Market
Southbank’s monthly showcase of Brisbane’s young creative souls is on this Sunday. Don’t forget to pencil in their additional market this month (August 20-21) in celebration of Brisbane’s Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival.
10AM – 4PM
