The middle of the year means shorter days and longer nights — and, rather than yearning for Brisbane's summer sun, you might as well embrace the two. Here's one way: Milton by Moonlight, Milton Markets' returning midyear shindig. On the agenda: everything that makes this inner-west market a firm favourite, but during an early winter evening.
Taking place from 4–10pm on Saturday, June 3, the event will start serving up bites to eat — and setting up 140-plus stalls to shop — in the late late afternoon, so you can jump into the fun as twilight approaches. Then, when the moon comes out, you can browse, buy, sip, munch and dance the night away.
With gourmet street food, artisanal wares and live entertainment on offer — the former including dumplings, tacos, noodles and wings; the latter across two stages — you'll have plenty to see, taste, purchase and listen to. And to drink as well, all thanks to the pop-up Milton Rum Distillery and Stone & Wood bars. They'll be pouring beers and spirits, obviously, as well as seltzers, ciders and wines.
Entry costs $3 at the gate — and if you're driving there, parking costs $2 as well.
