Famous for bringing relaxed summer fun to Wednesday nights in Melbourne, in 2017/18 The Night Market will gather more than 60 global street food stalls and festival bars; more than 130 artisan fashion, homewares and general merchandise traders; plus, a rotating line-up of buzzing live music and entertainment.
