The Plantapalooza festival will be held this Saturday, 28 March 2026, at the Saturday Fresh Market in Rocklea, Queensland. This event features a large selection of indoor and outdoor plants, succulents, and flowers for local residents and gardening enthusiasts.
According to Brisbane Markets Limited, the festival takes place in a fully undercover venue at 385 Sherwood Road, allowing the market to stay open in all weather conditions. While many visitors travel from across the region, including suburbs like Birkdale, organisers remind the community that dogs are not permitted at the market site.
Entry to the Saturday Fresh Market is $2 per adult, while children under the age of 15 can enter for free. The market is open from 6am until 12 noon, featuring more than 100 regular stalls alongside the special plant displays and seasonal flowers.
Families attending the event can take part in several activities, including a jumping castle, face painting, and a wildlife show with local reptiles. Children also have the opportunity to decorate their own plant pots to take home as part of a hands-on gardening activity.
Plenty of free parking is available for visitors, though premium parking can be used for $6.50 per car, which includes the entry price for everyone in the vehicle. For those looking for native plants closer to the Redlands, the Eco Markets at the IndigiScapes Centre are another local option on 11 April 2026.
