Summer is in full swing at the Market and we’ve got plenty in store for an exciting year ahead.
The Night Market is back each Thursday evening until 28 Feb. Enjoy live music and great food from some of Melbourne’s finest food trucks and stalls. Our NEFF Summer Series cooking classes are the perfect addition to your twilight adventure so gather your friends and make a night of it. Plus, we’re open on Australia Day for all your BBQ needs. We’re also hosting the Port Phillip Mussel & Jazz Festival over the Labour Day long weekend in March and stall applications close next Wednesday!
The Night Market is off to a flying start with a smorgasbord of food, stalls, and live music on Cecil and Coventry Streets – there’s something for everyone! Check out the Aptus Oyster Bar Seafood & Soul sessions inside the Market too!
Open Australia Day
We will be open Australia Day from 8am – 4pm for all your BBQ goodies. Bring the kids along this Sat 26 January for free face painting in the Food Hall. Cecil Street restaurants will also be open so come down and make a day of it.
Mussel Festival
Come feast and dance with family and friends over the Labour Day long weekend on Sat 9 and Sun 10 March at the Port Phillip Mussel & Jazz Festival. Fresh seafood and hot jazz make this street party a favourite with locals and visitors.

Getting To Know Roy
This month we get to know retailer Roy Jacobson, who has been at the helm of The South Melbourne Market Grocer for nearly six years. Roy loves chatting with customers about music, AFL, English soccer and obscure brands of hot sauce!
