Brisbane SS19 NOW OPEN!

We’re back Brisbane! 

That’s right, the Finders Keepers Spring / Summer season rolls on – we’re back at The Marquee, Brisbane Showgrounds THIS WEEKEND! You’re invited to join the Finders Keepers for three MEGA days of slowing down to shop small. Kicking off this Friday from 12 noon, we’re counting down to one of our best line-ups yet, featuring local heroes and interstate must-sees! It’s not just a room full of independent Australian art & design either, there’s also incredible local food plus a killer entertainment program AND one very big colouring-in wall for the kids by Lunch Lady magazine and Melbourne artist Beci Orpin!

From 12 noon, Friday is still the winner for escaping weekend crowds. Perfect for families as well as parents n’ prams to conquer a creative day out! We’ve got the lovely team from Lunch Lady magazine joining us this year with their interactive stall of mags – and massages! That’s right, the kids can come along and have a go at colouring in the GIANT wall by Beci Orpin while parents jump in the free massage booth! There’s also magazine and merch to be found all weekend.

It wouldn’t be Finders Keepers without live music from some amazing local musicians and DJs. Team your Friday night drinks with live entertainment and shopping ’till 9pm! Following Friday’s fun we’ll be open all weekend – check for hours below and don’t forget we’re doing Espresso Martinis at the main bar this year thanks to Allpress! That oughta keep you finding.

We also celebrate and welcome our Indigenous Program recipient CHABOO. This design duo has a seriously beautiful set-up install. Showcasing Indigenous Art on handcrafted wooden bowls and platters plus totes and tea towels, CHABOO is storytelling via form and function.
