Brisbane Events: Cabaret, Making, Markets and More, October 26–November 1

A Brisbane guide for October 26–November 1, 2026, spanning cabaret, hands-on making, music, markets, fishing lessons, and comedy.

Past guide26 Oct–1 Nov 2026
8 Min Read

Brisbane’s October 26–November 1 selection moves easily between performance, making, browsing, and time outdoors. Cabaret and a hands-on jewellery workshop provide two distinct creative routes, while the wider lineup includes music trails, fishing lessons, a suitcase rummage market, and comedy nights. There are also opportunities to explore museum collections, try boomerang throwing, seek out pottery and resin-art sessions, or linger over high tea. With 50 events in the broader weekly guide, this is a useful moment to build a plan around one focused activity or combine a creative class with a market or evening outing.
