Hawker 88 Night Market
Wednesday nights in Melbourne are known for one thing and one thing only: Queen Victoria Market’s legendary Night Market. With the summer night market officially finished for the season, Queen Vic has announced it will be bringing back its insanely popular Asian night market to tide you over until the warmer months return.
The Hawker 88 Night Market brings Asian tastes, sights and sounds to Queen Vic’s sheds. Running every Wednesday night from April 9 until May 7, a tasty variety of stalls and trucks will be set up to sell authentic street food direct from China, India, Vietnam, Korea, Malaysia and Japan.
While the full line-up of more than 20 vendors is yet to be announced, some of the tasty eats (and drinks!) you can expect include Filipino barbecue bowls, Singapore noodles, crispy rice sandwiches, frozen watermelon shochu cocktails and lots and lots of bubble bubble tea. If you're down for a curry eating competition, don't miss Bollywood Night!
Across the five-week stint there will also be lion dances, K-pop crew performances, live bands, martial arts demonstrations, taiko drumming, Squid Game-inspired DJ sets and a traditional Chinese costume parade.
