WHO RUN THE WORLD?
By Ava Barker | 5th March 2026Grab the girls and spend a morning celebrating yourselves on International Women’s Day this Sunday at Joey’s Kangaroo Point, where The Female Edit Festival will take over the riverfront with a curated celebration of women in business.
Perfectly timed for those taking part in the Mater International Women’s Day Fun Run, the festival doubles as the ultimate post-finish line reward — whether you’ve clocked the kilometres or are simply looking for an excuse to start the morning with friends.
Running from 6am through to mid-morning, the free, one-day event brings together a hand-picked lineup of some of Brisbane’s most-loved female-led and female-owned brands, spanning beauty, fashion, wellness and lifestyle.
Expect a morning of festival-style pop-ups and exclusive activations. Enjoy protein smoothies to refuel post-run, sunrise Pilates sessions courtesy of Vicalates, permanent jewellery and beauty touch-ups — all soundtracked by female DJs spinning on the decks.
Here’s everything you need to know about what’s on offer.
Wellness
Get ready to fire up your core and activate those glutes with Vicalates, Brisbane’s own Pilates powerhouse. or those skipping the Fun Run but still keen to get a sweat in, what better way to do it than with a sunrise mat session on the riverfront overlooking the city skyline? Vicalates will host three complimentary 30-minute Pilates classes at 6:30am, 7am and 7:30am, giving early risers the chance to start their morning mindfully.
Once the endorphins are flowing, stop by the fresh flower pop-up from Avalon Florals, because leaving with a bouquet in hand is the perfect act of self-care.
