Queen Victoria Night Market

Close your eyes and imagine the aroma of all the best food in the world under one shed. You’ve  just stepped into the Queen Victoria Night Market - Melbourne's place to be on a Wednesday night during the summer. With over 80 different stalls ranging from Italian, Vietnamese to traditional Danish pastries, the only requirement is to come with an empty stomach!

The first night market was held in 1998, making 2018 the Night Market’s 20th Birthday. It will feature 21 weeks of food and clothing stores, produce and special themed nights to celebrate 20 years in the sun. Although entry is free, you have the opportunity to book a private table so that you and your friends and family are able to enjoy the artisans, performances and eat delicious food that the markets have available comfortably. 

The night market has many things to offer, from a range of food stalls such as Market Juice which provides visitors with fresh and healthy fruits and beverages. Children will love Lollie Lovers, an Australian family owned and operated candy shop who specialise in boiled sweets and rock candies and are known for their famous Raspberry Drops.

There are also lots of stalls dedicated to shopping, such as Silver Cinnamon, a store dedicated to handmade wears who this season, will be appealing to the young and young at heart. You can even participate in Twosix Wellness Yoga’s free yoga event to unwind. Afterwards, enjoy the sounds and tunes of locals James Franklin, The Everyman and Rhys Crimmin.

If you can’t participate in the Summer Night Market, there’s always the Winter Night Market to look forward to. At this market, there are stalls offering mulled and spiced wines as well as hot chocolate to warm you up as you make your way through what the market offers.

The markets are open every Wednesday evening and attracts locals as well as visitors from all over Australia.
