Queen Victoria Winter Night Market

The famous Queen Victoria Winter Night Market has returned, bringing food stalls, fire pits, hot drinks and after-dark market wandering to the city every Wednesday night.

What You'll Find at the Queen Vic Winter Night Market

Come hungry, because the food line-up is the major drawcard of this winter staple. Indulge in raclette-loaded sandwiches, baked potatoes piled high, soft-shell crab burgers, fried pasta cups, soups in cob loaves, warm cookies, crumbles and plenty more to chase down before your hands get too cold.

There are hot chocolates, mulled wine and wintery drinks for anyone keen to thaw out by the fire, plus a rotating mix of local makers and market stalls selling jewellery, vintage fashion, winter accessories, gifts and other bits you did not plan to buy but probably will.

Why Families Will Love It

The market has that easy Melbourne buzz that works well with kids in tow. There is room to wander, food everyone can pick at, glowing lights, roving performers, and live entertainment to keep the night moving along.

It's also a good one for families who want a midweek outing without committing to a big-ticket event. Grab dinner, let the kids choose dessert, warm up near the fire pits and call it a winter win.
