BrisStyle indie "Christmas" Twilight Market - Handmade Holidays
King George Square and Burnett Lane, Brisbane CBD
'Tis the season to be jolly.....
This Friday night the Brisbane CBD will come to life with Christmas good cheer and holiday wishes as the BrisStyle indie Designers once again light up the night with not only their lantern lit stalls but their stunning array of top quality handmade items including jewellery, accessories, clothing, homewares, toys, artworks and heaps, heaps more.
It will truly be a night to remember and one the whole family will enjoy. Stalls will be set around the famous King George Square's Christmas Tree and travel down the Grand Ramp as well as the hip and happening Burnett Lane.
In particular, Burnett Lane will be the hub of the cool and eclectic where you'll find a collection of quirky and unique handmade items as well as local indie performers at the junction of Albert St.

A video installation by Brisbane Artist Andrew DK Forsyth will be projected onto the walls at the beginning of the Laneway. There will also be a quirky roving projection throughout the entire market that will also conjure up memories of Christmas in Queensland with a kitschy, handmade twist!
