Ebenezer Night Markets

With twinkly lights above, a laidback vibe and dozens of unique, local stallholders, the Ebenezer Night Markets is the perfect destination on a Saturday night in summer, no matter who you’re meandering with.

Keep the mood easy on a first date, with no awkward conversation pauses and no need to make constant eye contact. Instead, mosey side by side through the laneway’s stalls and bond over a love artisan crafts or craft drinks. Feeling flirty? Pick up the pace and pick up a new tee you can both wear. No judgement here.

Planning a catchup with friends? Book a table at one of the surrounding eateries before drinking in the party vibe outdoors. Kick back over drinks and a cool soundtrack from the laneway’s DJ spinning cool tunes or that acoustic performer who knows how to melt hearts.

If you’ve got kids, this is a family friendly outing you can all enjoy. Soothe those savage beasts with some street food or an ice cream, while you revisit your impulsive, unencumbered adult self and splurge on a piece of jewellery or subversive homewares you just had to have.

Prefer your own company? Wander the stalls, then find somewhere to perch and watch the world go by. Best done with a chilled glass in one hand and a snack in the other.

The Ebenezer Night Markets are on for just eight Saturdays in summer, plus one lucky Friday in February.
