QAGOMA Christmas Design Market

The beloved QAGOMA Christmas Design Market is back on Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 November, bringing two days of festive shopping, handmade treasures and unique gift finds to the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA).

With more than 80 independent designers, makers and creatives setting up shop, the market is the perfect place to get your Christmas shopping sorted while supporting local talent. Expect unique gifts, handmade finds, beautiful homewares and plenty of one-of-a-kind pieces for everyone on your list.

There's even more reason to make a weekend of it, with new vendors showcasing their wares each day. Whether you're hunting for something special or simply soaking up the festive atmosphere, you'll find plenty to discover.

Once you've finished browsing, you can drop your market finds at the GOMA cloakroom before heading inside to explore Make, Believe, Magic: The Worlds of The Jim Henson Company.

Best of all, entry to the market is completely free, and the covered outdoor space means the Christmas cheer continues rain, hail or shine. You can even bring your furry friends along on a lead, making it an easy festive outing for the whole family.

Getting there is easy, too, with 50-cent public transport fares, onsite parking and nearby street parking available.

So, if you're looking to shop local, discover independent designers and tick a few names off your Christmas list, the QAGOMA Christmas Design Market is one to add to your November calendar.

The QAGOMA Christmas Design Market runs from 9am to 4pm on Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 November 2026, outside the Gallery of Modern Art, South Brisbane. 

Best of all, entry to the market is completely free, and the covered outdoor space means the Christmas cheer continues rain, hail or shine. It's also dog-friendly, so you can bring your four-legged shopping companion along for the festivities (just keep them on a lead!).
