Winter in Dayboro is a magical time of year... so rug up and wander Dayboro's welcoming main street as local businesses open later for one evening only. Picture deliciously warm meals and perhaps a drink or two, some twilight shopping, and that unmistakable country-town friendliness you simply can't manufacture.

 

This isn't a market, a street festival, or a ticketed event - it's simply Dayboro doing what it does best: keeping things relaxed, community-focused and welcoming for both locals as well as those visiting from Brisbane and the surrounding area.

​

What to Expect

Browse beautifully lit shopfronts, explore boutique and handmade wares, enjoy a deliciously warm meal (and perhaps a drink or two) and soak in our crisp country air.

Participating businesses will offer extended trading hours, so rug up in your coziest jacket and scarf and enjoy an evening where winter is something to be celebrated!

If you're planning to stay for dinner, drinks or dessert, several cafés and restaurants along Williams and Mackenzie Streets will be open - ideal for a relaxed catch-up with friends, family or colleagues... don't forget to book a table!

​

Participating Local Businesses

Many of our local shops, cafés and restaurants will be open, welcoming you to explore the main street at your own pace.

During the evening, plan to stop into:

The Churn Room
The Churn Room is truly a creative destination - part artisan store, part gallery, and part workshop space. Discover handmade, thoughtfully crafted pieces from local and emerging makers, along with original artworks in the Mezzanine Gallery, and unique seasonal gifts in the Christmas Room. It's a place to wander slowly, meet makers and take home something meaningful and beautifully made.

​

​

We'll announce more businesses and special offers in the lead up to our Up Late evening.

Why This Evening is Worth the Trip

Dayboro Up Late is the perfect opportunity to take a breath, slow down, and enjoy an evening where the air is clean and crisp, and the country atmosphere soaks into your soul.

Our town is so close to the suburbs, yet so far away from the busy-ness! 

 

Yarn Art Dayboro have decorated our street, buildings, fences and bridge incredible explosions of knitting and crochet, and this display is drawing to a close. Don't miss this chance to see it!

Whether you’re a local or visiting from Brisbane, Samford, the northern suburbs or beyond, this is a night to explore and connect.
