Northey Street City Farm Summer Solstice Permaculture Night Market and Circus Cabaret

Overview

Around mid-December each year, something important happens: summer solstice, or the day with the longest span of daylight and shortest stretch of night for the current 12-month period. Since ancient times, it has been a time of celebration — and that's what Northey Street City Farm is doing at its Summer Solstice Night Market.

At the Windsor spot on Friday, December 16, a waste-free organic street food market will serve up locally sourced bites to eat and sips to drink, including a whole heap of vegan and gluten-free options. Think falafel, Italian cuisine, burgers, juices, smoothies, beer, cider and kombucha on tap. Everything will be served on crockery, with wash stations set up so you can help clean up.

Also on the bill is live music, drumming, circus, talks and workshops — plus fire twirling and dancing. And, if you're keen to learn more about sustainable living, Mia Swainson is launching her book on the topic at the market.

As well as food, you'll be able to pick up ethical gifts, too, helping take care of your last-minute Christmas shopping.

The fun kicks off from 6pm, and entry costs $27.19 for adults.
