Time Out says

If there’s one Melbourne suburb that doesn’t like being neatly assigned to a box, it’s Fitzroy. And that's why the team behind the Fitzroy Market are polevaulting over to the CBD and launching a pop-up market in the heart of Chinatown.

For seven weeks starting April 25, the Fitzroy Market will be popping up in the vacant block of land on Little Bourke Street (between Russell and Exhibition streets). As with the regular northside market, the Chinatown pop-up will have a mix of food, artisan crafts, vintage wares, second-hand goodies and top-notch local products. Unlike the OG market, however, the new pop-up will be on four days a week from Thursday to Sunday.

The space the market is Chinatown pop-up is happening on is a large block of land that has been unused for several years. In early 2019 The Age reported that Maz Salt, the owner of Section 8, wanted to plant trees on the site and turn it into an outdoor restaurant.

The Chinatown Pop-up Market is free to attend and is on every Thursday to Sunday from April 25 to June 16 at 132 Little Bourke.
