Broadwater Pavilion Markets

Broadwater Pavilion Markets

A fantastic weekend escape will love the Broadwater Pavilion Markets at Southport. Kicking off this winter in June 2026, these monthly seaside markets feature incredible local stalls, live music, face painting for kids, and delicious food trucks. It is the perfect waterfront day out for Brisbane and Gold Coast families.

Broadwater Pavilion Markets

Broadwater Pavilion Markets takes place on the Fishermans Lawn at Broadwater Parklands every month, combining refreshing sea breezes with a vibrant showcase of the region’s best local talent.

Established in 2022, this beloved monthly seaside market has quickly grown from a small gathering into a bustling community hub, featuring everything from ocean-inspired art and handcrafted jewellery to artisanal baked goods. Visitors can browse local market stalls, enjoy incredible food trucks, catch live music, and keep the kids entertained with face painting – all in a stunning waterfront setting.

Whether hunting for a unique gift, grabbing a morning coffee, or simply soaking in the panoramic views, Broadwater Pavilion Markets offers the perfect weekend escape rooted in local spirit and seaside charm.
