Brisbane’s Eat Street Northshore in Hamilton is set to mark its 12th birthday this weekend with a three-day festival of food, music, and celebration.
From Friday, 7 November, to Sunday, 9 November, the riverside precinct at Hamilton will host one of its most anticipated events of the year, featuring more than 60 food and drink traders, live entertainment across four stages, and a fireworks display to cap off the festivities.
A Three-Day Celebration of Food and Fun
According to the event details published on Eat Street’s official website and social channels, the 12th Birthday Weekend will run from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Sunday. Visitors can expect a mix of gourmet dining, dessert creations, and themed cocktails created exclusively for the occasion.
The celebration will include a Sunday night pyrotechnics show, a scavenger hunt for visitors with prizes available throughout the weekend, and continuous live performances on multiple stages. Acts will range from local bands and DJs to emerging Brisbane performers, setting the tone for the market’s anniversary celebrations.
Chance to Win International Flights
As part of the event, Eat Street Northshore has partnered with Malaysian Airlines to give attendees the opportunity to win two international flight tickets. The competition entry form is open online, with visitors able to double their chances by entering in person at the venue during the event. The promotion, managed by Black Raven Media, aligns with Eat Street’s long-running tradition of offering unique incentives during its milestone celebrations.
More Than Just a Market
Over the years, Eat Street Northshore has grown from a shipping-container market into a recognised destination for locals and tourists alike. Its regular weekend operations feature a wide variety of international cuisines and themed bars, drawing crowds seeking live music and Brisbane River views.
For the 12th birthday event, organisers have announced additional attractions including a selection of new stalls and updated function spaces designed for end-of-year gatherings and Christmas parties.
Eat Street representatives have said the birthday weekend is a thank-you to the community that has supported the venue since its early days. With its combination of entertainment, food, and giveaways, the event highlights how the market continues to evolve while maintaining its signature atmosphere of relaxed fun.
