There’s plenty of exciting Christmas markets to look forward to, and we’ve got a new one to add to your list. Take advantage of the long summer evenings with the return of the popular Coburg Night Market. Returning next month over three fantastic evenings, you can settle in for some live music underneath swaying palm trees. Browse through market stalls from local makers, grab a drink from the bar and tuck into some mouth-watering street food. Find it at Bridges Reserve on Bell Street from Thursday, December 17 to Saturday, December 19. Entry is free!
Coburg Night Market
Gather your mates and head on over to this bustling market in Melbourne’s north. Wander around the stalls and find handmade goods and plenty of creative gift ideas from local makers. Think art, jewellery, homewares, accessories and food products, like hot sauce or preserves.
Grab something to eat from one of the food stalls, with bao, pizza, barbeque, gözleme, okonomiyaki, burgers and plenty more! Sweeten things up with some gelato, sorbet or baklava, and cool down with fresh juice. Swing by one of the pop-up bars for a specially brewed lager.
The whole family can have fun, with creative kids activities. The little ones can make friendship bracelets, decorate floral head wreaths and decorate cookies, while youths are welcome to swap merch and trinkets.
Dogs are welcome to come along too!
Music program
The opening night will kick off with DJ Luqman, followed by Gaia Scarf, First Nations artist Ruby Mae and all-female mariachi band, Queen of Hearts.
On Friday, expect a line-up of emerging local talent, with performances by The Unos (Soundmakrz), Sasha Star, bones + all, and Jemima Rae. Then, look forward to rhythms from Mandeng Groove and a headline set from First Nations artist CANISHA.
Finally, on Saturday, DJ jäs moore will kick things off, followed by line dancing with Country Struts. Hear from First Nations artist Clover Blue, then join a George Michael singalong, led by DJ Fee-B-Squared and guest saxophone from Synthotronica. Feel the rhythm of O’Ziriguidam Escola de Samba, with Among the Restless and Ally Row finishing the festivities.
