Live music will continue throughout the evening, while a pop-up bar will serve Aperol Spritz and local brews.

A DIY paint and sip will also be part of the program, alongside themed lighting and installations at Reddacliff Place.

The event has been designed to give people already working, living or spending time in the city another reason to stay after the traditional working day, with food, shopping and entertainment brought together in one place.

For Queensland small businesses taking part, the evening will also provide another opportunity to meet customers in one of Brisbane’s busiest precincts.

Brisbane City Markets already operates across three inner-city locations, offering farm-direct produce, artisan goods, gourmet food and provisions.

Goodwill Projects managing director Mark Power said Brisbane’s climate, food, people and public spaces provided an opportunity for more activity after standard business hours.

The new Friday format will be separate from Brisbane City Markets’ established Wednesday market at Reddacliff Place, which already attracts thousands of people.

The evening event will use the same central location but place more emphasis on food, shopping, live entertainment and after-work socialising.

More than 70 food, artisan and boutique traders are expected to participate, including independent makers and Queensland small businesses.

For those traders, the event provides another opportunity to operate in a busy CBD location and connect with workers, residents and visitors passing through the city.
