GATHAA First Nations Markets

Experience the creativity, culture and community of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander makers when the GATHAA First Nations Markets return to Brisbane as part of QPAC's much-loved Clancestry festival on August 1 and 2.

Taking over the South Bank Cultural Forecourt, the vibrant markets showcase First Nations art, fashion, bushfoods, handmade creations and contemporary design, giving visitors the chance to connect with the talented artists and makers behind each piece.

More than just a market, the GATHAA First Nations Markets celebrate creativity and connection to Country through a welcoming program of shopping, storytelling and cultural experiences. Across the weekend, visitors can also enjoy free workshops and demonstrations, including native floral arranging with Blak Botanics, Bushfood Cooking on Coals with Aunty Dale Chapman and Chris Jordan, and traditional weaving with Carly Wallace and Brian Whap.

Whether you're searching for a unique handmade treasure, keen to learn more about First Nations culture or simply looking for a memorable day out by the Brisbane River, the GATHAA First Nations Markets offer an inspiring celebration of art, culture and community while supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists and businesses.

Extend your Clancestry experience and make a day of it, with free activities for the little ones with Clancestry for Kids, and free live music with Mob Music!
