About Us
JAMboree Events specialises in farmers and handmade community markets. We are passionate about supporting the local small businesses of Brisbane and surrounds.
JAMboree Events offer a great range of stalls at our markets including farmers fruit and vegetables, meat and smallgoods, preserves and condiments, great food and coffee, live music, handcrafted handmade and home baked stalls, garden stalls and stalls from other local small businesses within the community.
Established in 2020 mid COVID19 lock downs we worked to provide the community and its small businesses a way to come together and support each other, forming a community hub with just one market. We now run 2-3 markets a month in various locations across Brisbane’s western suburbs.
The founder of JAMboree Events - Melanie Lee had been a stall holder at Pullenvale Popup Markets for almost 12 months before COVID19 and just loved the relaxed and picturesque setting that the Pullenvale Popup Markets offered. After hearing that the organiser of Pullenvale Popup Markets had moved to Tasmania and there were no plans to continue the market on due to COVID19 Melanie was keen to keep the markets going and build something to keep bringing the communities in Brisbane’s West together.
JAMboree Events was a name that Melanie’s husband Adam thought of when Melanie had been playing with ideas to include the names of her family members. Knowing Melanie adored native gumnut blossoms and the community where they both grew up he cleverly thought up the perfect name for the business.
Jessica, Adam and Melanie made JAM, mixed with the word for a native flower - boree, makes the word for a gathering - jamboree and so JAMboree Events was born. The JAMboree Events logo also symbolises a native gumnut blossom also designed by Adam. Not to mention jam and flowers make for great market stall wares!
JAMboree Events despite many challenges - lock downs, cyclonic weathering floods, grew from strength to strength and quickly became known to offer family and pet friendly markets, hubs for friends and families to meet and enjoy a morning of shopping, coffee, great music and fabulous food.
JAMboree Events now offers Markets in Brisbane’s Western Suburbs including monthly markets in Moggill and Mount Crosby and popup markets in Brookfield in collaboration with the Brookfield Show Society.
The JAMboree Events team is extremely grateful for your support and the ongoing support from the communities of Brisbane’s western suburbs. And we look forward to seeing you at our next market!
