The
2020 Night Market season is back! This time,
for the 1st time for 5 glorious weeks,
South Melbourne Market will offer late night shopping as well, which means you can get your shopping fix alongside enjoying the traditional array of outdoor food trucks, entertainment and family fun. Launching on
8 January till 5 February 2020, the market is open from
12pm to 9.30pm on every Wednesday (8, 15, 22, 29 Jan & 5 Feb) in the given timeframe and entry is
FREE at to the Market,
corner Cecil & Coventry Streets, South Melbourne. Check here for
what's on at the Night Market and lineup of musos performing.
Expect local DJs and bands, roving entertainment, cooking demonstrations, delicious food and fun for the kids. Try to walk, cycle or catch public transport as parking is limited and due to road closures, it'll take longer to drive. Be sure to follow the Market's
Facebook page for updates.
Bushfire Disaster Relief and Recovery AppealDeeply saddened by the bushfires burning across our country and its devastating effect on communities, farmers, wildlife and the land, to show their support, the Market is fundraising for the
Australian Red Cross' Bushfire Disaster Relief and Recovery Appeal. You can donate at
South Melbourne Market, at the Night Market or
ONLINE. Donations of $2 or more are tax-deductible. Many of the
traders are also donating proceeds from sales to the cause.
This is a Market filled with food, glorious food! You won't be short of options with Market favourites such as award-winning paella, pandan croissants, duck wonton tacos, ice-cream baklava and Sicilian pizza alongside some of Melbourne's favourite food trucks serving up Brazilian BBQ, Tibetan momo, mouthwatering raclette, Indian street food and New York cheesecake on a stick. Eat, shop, play and listen to great live performances to soundtrack your afternoon and evening.
There's lots of fun activities for the kid as the summer Night Market as well, including cooking classes with
Foost. Just drop the kids off at
The Neff Market Kitchen and head out to enjoy yourself at the night market, kid-free while the kids learn to create some delicious, nutritious recipes. For details and to book ahead, go
