But it’s not just about shopping – the Piccadilly Night Market promises a whole lot more. Sip on refreshing drinks from Gypsy Belle Bar and Danny Boy Distillery, while live entertainment from Piano Bar sets the mood. There will also be three drag queen performances at 6pm, 7pm and 8pm.

For the kids, there’s a glow-in-the-dark area with fun games and activities to keep them entertained.

And don’t worry, your four-legged friends are welcome too! The market is dog-friendly, so bring your adorable pooch along to enjoy the night with family and friends.

Of course, we can’t forget about the food trucks! The Lil Dumpling Van, Workers Barbecue, Chubby Bao, Twisted Potatoes, and Country Baked Potatoes are just a few of the delicious options to satisfy your hunger. And for those with a sweet tooth, the Cannoli Project, Rockin’ Donuts and Coffee and Baking Bliss will have you covered.

Entry is only $5 for adults, and kids under 16 get in for free.

Best of all, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Black Dog Institute in honour of Jonah Lear, Piccadilly Market director Janina Lear’s son who passed away in December last year.
