About this market
Broadwater Pavilion Twilight Christmas Market is held at The Great Lawn, Broadwater Parklands, Marine Parade, Southport QLD 4215. The next market is on Saturday 12 December, from 3pm to 9pm. Entry is free. Dogs are welcome on a lead. It can be cancelled in bad weather, so check the listing before you go.
Each December the team behind the monthly Broadwater Pavilion Markets takes over the Great Lawn at Broadwater Parklands for a single evening of festive shopping. As the light fades, the lawn glows under a giant Christmas tree. Shoppers browse handmade gifts, crafts and festive treasures from local makers, then stay for seasonal food, holiday treats, live music and dancing. Last year's edition sold out and drew thousands of holiday shoppers. It's a relaxed, family-friendly way to tick off the Christmas list by the water. The organisers cap category numbers and allow only one food vendor per cuisine, so the stall mix stays varied rather than repetitive.
