The Rocks Lunar Markets
Celebrate Chinese New Year with steamed buns and pig-shaped fairy floss on the cobbled streets of The Rocks.
Overview
With the Year of the Pig almost upon us, The Rocks is turning its regular weekend markets into a Lunar New Year celebration. From 10am on Fridays, Saturdays and Sunday between February 1–10, lanterns and themed stalls will be lining the cobblestones of Playfair Street, George Street and Jack Mundey Place.
As is usually the case at The Rocks' regular Friday Foodie Market, there will be plenty of tasty treats to choose from, with Mr Bao and Let's Do Yum Cha slinging steamed buns and dumplings, a special Banh Mi snag at Jarrod's Shakes and Snags, and Agape Organic Food Truck's menu of duck fries and san choy bao. On the sweeter side, Merry Pops, Yum Thai Juice Bar and Som Som Candy are providing everything from smoothies to pig-shaped fairy floss for the New Year. You can find the perfect new year gift for anyone with a selection of boutique stalls offering everything from silk scarves to spicy Thai condiments.
Plus, if you happen to be there at 1pm, 2pm or 6pm, you'll find yourself in the middle of a traditional lion dance. The market will stay open until 10pm each night.
