As the winter chill takes hold, the Carseldine Wintertide Wonderland Twilight Markets offers a warm and inviting escape for those looking to immerse themselves in the spirit of the season.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, 27 July and make sure you don’t miss out on traditional mulled wine, delicious seasonal eats, artisan wares, live music and winter-themed entertainment.
Market coordinator Mark Power said the magic atmosphere of the Wintertide Wonderland Twilight Markets made it a popular event for the whole community.
“Between the ambience created by twilight bonfires, live music and wintery entertainment like stilt walkers and fire twirlers, the community coming together creates an enchanting atmosphere that draws people in from near and far for a unique and festive winter experience that reminds them of a winter European adventure,” Mark said.
“Carseldine Wintertide Wonderland also showcases some of the best artisan and food stalls from South East Queensland. With over 250 artisan and food vendors, visitors can explore a diverse selection of goods, which adds a touch of exclusivity and uniqueness compared to other shopping experiences.”
Gourmet street food trucks include everything from authentic German sausages to comfort food at The Tibetan Kitchen, tasty meals from Mr Pulled Slow Cooked Meats, authentic Taiwanese pancakes at Super Flaky, and Kumru (Turkish sandwich) from Istanbul Bites.
The Carseldine Market team has also been hard at work perfecting an authentic Gluhwein (mulled wine) recipe. Described as “the perfect combo of fresh cloves and cinnamon sticks” the Gluhwein will be available from the Swiss Alps Pop-Up Bar, which also offers schnapps and a range of local craft beer and wine.
As the sun begins to set, live music across two stages will provide entertainment throughout the night. There will also be roving entertainers, face painters and a jumping castle.
“The combination of these elements plus supporting the hundreds of truly special, handmade and artisan small businesses who come together to make these twilight events possible adds an extra layer of charm and spirit to the event, making Carseldine Wintertide Wonderland a must-visit for both locals and tourists alike,” Mark said.
Entry to the markets is $3. Free parking is available.
