Sydney's Night Noodle Markets Have Cancelled This Week's Dates and Postponed to Next Week
You'll have to wait a few more days to get your Night Noodle Markets fix — in drier conditions.
First, the bad news: after a tumultuous week, Sydney's Night Noodle Markets have pulled the pin on its plans for this week. Now, the good news: this isn't a cancellation but a rescheduling, with the event shifting its run to Wednesday, October 12–Sunday, October 16.
In a statement posted on Instagram today, Friday, October 7, organisers said that they're "not going to let La Niña rain on our parade. We are pausing for a few days to let the park dry out."
"We reopen on Wednesday 12th October at 5pm and run all week until Sunday 16th October. We can't wait to see you next week for more deliciousness".

The beloved event finally returned this week for the first time since 2019 due to the pandemic, opening at a new home in Prince Alfred Park on Tuesday, October 4. Sadly, the markets then received yet another dose of bad luck courtesy of the heavy dose of rain that's struck Sydney over the last couple of days.
After cancelling Wednesday night's festivities at the last minute due to the weather, organisers' hands were again forced on Thursday, calling the event off for the second night in a row. Now, in unsurprising news, the whole week is a write-off.
This isn't the first time that La Niña has had an impact on the markets this year; the event was originally set to make a comeback in March, but had to be postponed then due to wet weather.
When the markets return from Wednesday, October 12, it'll again host stalls from the likes of Gelato Messina, Hoy Pinoy, Brendan Pang's Bumplings, Bangkok Street Food, Shallot Thai, Roll Up, Raijin, Calabang and Donut Papi — the best of which we've previewed for you.
The postponed Night Noodle Markets will run from 5–10pm Wednesday, October 12–Thursday, October 13; 5–11pm on Friday, October 14; 4–10pm on Saturday, October 15; and 4–9pm on Sunday, October 16.
