South Melbourne Night Market

Overview

It's our favourite time of year. The warm weather is on its way, the promise of bare legs is becoming a reality, and we can begin to readjust our body clocks. The night is ours again.

Launching on the same week as its sibling over at the Queen Victoria Markets, this southside alternative provides a different take on the ever-popular night market scene. With a bigger focus on fashion and design, the South Melbourne Night Market will feature the likes of Bleeker Street Vintage, Mr Simple, and Stone Glint & Bone all tucked away in the covered shopping strip along Conventry and Cecil Streets. Like any good market, another big drawcard will be the food, with offerings from favourites such as Trailer Made, Yogurddiction, and Chingon Taco Truck.

All that aside, the most exciting part of the market is bound to be the entertainment. This year each night will have themes such as 'Mexican', 'Jamaican Carnivale', and 'Calypso' with corresponding musical acts to match. Our pick is 'Great Gatsby' on November 14. There's no better way to throw yourself back into the night than with a little jazz and some street food.

The South Melbourne Night Market will be running every Thursday night until December 19.
