What’s open on the January 26 public holiday in Brisbane

Jan 20, 2026, updated Jan 20, 2026

Monday January 26 is a public holiday, which means many of us have the day off. As much as we love a long weekend, The Weekend Edition team would like to acknowledge the significance of January 26 for First Nations people and believe it is not a date to celebrate. ⁠However you choose to observe this day, there are a bunch of cafes, restaurants and bars keeping their doors open all day long. If you’re keen to get out and support your local, here’s a list of places to go.
