Shop, Bop And Chop: Gilles St Market’s Father’s Day Edit

Father’s Day is coming up and to be completely honest we have no idea what to get Dad. He probably doesn’t want a spa voucher and he sure as hell doesn’t need another tie. If you’re as lost as we are, we have an event that’s going to make all your worries disappear – drum roll – Gilles Street Market’s Father’s Day Edit.

Gilles Street Market is creating the perfect vibe to take Dad for breakfast, lunch or brunch this Father’s Day, Sunday 3 September at 10am. With heaps of stallholders to shop, live music, and even barbers there doing the chop, there’s no better place this Father’s Day. Whether you’re looking for a last minute gift for Dad, or simply wanting to spend your Sunday ambling around, head down and enjoy the day with the family.

Can’t make on Father’s Day weekend? Don’t worry, Gilles Street Markets are running twice a month again as we head into the warmer weather: the first and third Sunday of each month.

We’ve put together a massive list of everything that’s going on so you can make this Dad’s Day the best one yet.

Little Johnny Insta Booth + Coffee Van

With quirky books only a Daggy Dad could love, Adelaide’s Pop-Up Book Store will be setting up a $2 stall of weird and wonderful books for Dads of all ages. We love this concept!

Local uber-cool barber Slick Lobster, are on board for the Father’s Day Edit. With hot cuts and beard trims all day, maybe you’ll be able to convince Dad to get rid of that piece of hair that looks suspiciously like a rat’s tail.

KK Gifts

Gilles Street has teamed up with the Little Big Balloon Co. and have released a balloon just for Father’s Day. Create that extra “wow” factor for your Dad and show him how much your heart could explode with all the love you have for him.

Not sure what to get Dad? Thoo Good Food are creating a range of delicious cookies decorated with “Dad” and “Best Dad” to treat your favourite father on the day

Worried your kids will be bored with all the attention on Dad? Don’t fear, your young ones will be able to play on a great playground. Not only that, but The Sky Doodles are on board with the best handcrafted fairy floss. This isn’t just any fairy floss though – you can choose from a range of colours and even different animal shapes.

Tim and Kyle from My Kitchen Rules 2017 have teamed up with their best mate and head chef Kain (formerly Bread & Bone, Street, NOMA) to bring you Carō Club. Carō, the Latin word for meat, inspired the name and menu, which features meat-focussed dishes. With influences from North, Central and South America, as well as Asian inspired cuisine, your Dad will be able to chow down until he’s fuller than he’s ever been and his beer belly is hanging over his jeans.

Are you sitting there thinking ‘this sounds great, but what about me?’ Well, don’t fear ladies of Adelaide, they’ll still have ALL their regular stalls of great clothing, accessories and home products!

With all the action starting at 10am, why not wake Dad up early with a breakfast in bed before you head down? With so many brilliant stalls, food experiences and great tunes, Dad won’t know what hit him this Father’s Day.
