QVM Winter Night Market 2023

Overview

Clear your mid-week calendars and dust off your scarves, Melbourne — one of the bright sparks of Melbourne's frosty winter has made its way back onto the social calendar. Queen Victoria Market's beloved Winter Night Market is heating up your hump day schedule from June 7–August 30.

From 5pm every Wednesday, the QVM is transformed into the kind of winter wonderland worth getting excited about, tempting you off the couch with a cosy program of street food, pop-up bars, live entertainment and artisan market stalls.

As always, it's serving up a tantalising assortment of street eats each week, with a huge array of food vendors repping dishes from all corners of the world. Get excited for the likes of That's Amore's cheese wheel pasta, 400 Gradi's woodfired pizza, choclate fondue, prawn dumpling soup, soups served in giant bread rolls, Casa Nata's famed Portuguese tarts and stacks more. All perfectly paired with warming sips like mulled wine, butter beer and spiked milo paired with chilli, maple syrup and whipped cream.

As you're filling your belly with tasty winter fare, you'll be kept entertained with a rotation of live gigs, roving performers and open fires. Plus, the silent disco is also returning this year, because what better way to warm your cockles and work off a big serve of cacio e pepe, than a cheeky dance floor session?
