Coburg Night Market 2017

Balmy evenings, fragrant street food, artisan stalls, and the euphoric hubbub of communities coming together to bask in the warm glow of summer – there are very few things more quintessential to Melbourne than a bustling night market. Since 2010, the Coburg Night Market has been at the forefront of the scene, bringing us nights of food, drink, music and entertainment each Friday in December.

Food stalls will be dishing up a mouth-watering array of local and international cuisines. Our top picks for your taste buds are traditional arancini from Arancini Siciliani, Polish dumplings from Pierogi Pierogi, Cambodian grill from Flamin Skewers and American style BBQ from The Gypsy’s Lunchbox. Thunder Road Brewing has been brought on board to thoroughly quench your thirst with their delicious range of summery beverages. The market prides itself on promoting local, organic, sustainable, and community-minded products, so don’t forget to have a peruse of the stalls as you’re busy eating your way around the globe!

Highlights on the main stage this Friday include all-female family trio The Dusty Millers, whose beautifully harmonious voices and soothing style of soulful acoustic folk will ease you into the evening and get you totally relaxed for the weekend ahead. As night falls and things inevitably begin to get a bit looser and rowdier and raucous, iconic Russian punks Vulgargrad will take to the stage and, through a cacophony of brass and vocals, will (in their words) proceed to ordain “a wild night of old-fashioned Russian criminality” upon the crowds of Coburg.

With a clear sky forecast for this Friday, bring your loved ones and a picnic rug and settle in for what is sure to be an evening of pure summer fun.
