Is the listed information consistent?
Mostly, with one exception. For both Burleigh Market and The Coastal Markets, the City’s “When” block still shows earlier 2026 dates beside the November ones. The occurrence lists on the same pages give 14 November for Burleigh Market and 15 November for The Coastal Markets, so those are the dates and times used here. The pages do not explain the earlier rows, and we have not tried to.
What else is on this weekend?
The FUSE Esports Festival and Business in the Spotlight start on Friday 13 November and are covered in our guide to community events from 13 to 29 November. The guide to community events from 6 to 15 November covers the other events that run into this weekend.
