Summer night markets for shopping and entertainment
For family-friendly fun, head to Markets @ The Quay Christmas Edition at Elizabeth Quay on Saturday 23rd November from 3pm to 8pm. As well as 60 stalls for another spot of gift shopping, there’ll be live music and activities like face painting and ornament decorating, plus a visit from Santa.
Next up is the Christmas Twilight Perth Makers Market on Friday 29th November from 4pm to 9pm in the Supreme Court Gardens. Enjoy a balmy evening dining on delicious food truck fare and browsing 80+ stalls featuring the work of talented local artisans and creators.
And of course, it wouldn’t be the Christmas season without a whole lot of feasting. The City’s ever-popular
Twilight Food Market is back, running every Friday from 4.30pm to 9.30pm (alongside late-night shopping for many CBD retailers). Forrest Place fills with the tempting scents of street food from across the globe and the sounds of festive entertainment.
Don’t miss the Rio Tinto Christmas Lights Trail while you’re in the City. Lighting up the streets every night from Friday 22nd November to New Year’s Day, it features 20 glowing installations spanning from Yagan Square to Elizabeth Quay.
All of these evening events are located within walking distance of train stations, bus stops and the ferry terminal. Or if you drive into the City, you can enjoy free night-time parking after 6pm in City of Perth Parking car parks and street parking.
