Night Markets Launch at Newcastle Showground
Newcastle's summer evenings are set to sparkle with the launch of the eagerly anticipated Night Markets, transforming the historic Newcastle Showground into a vibrant community hub starting Friday, 6 December.
As twilight descends from 4pm, visitors will discover a feast for all senses. The air will be filled with the enticing aromas of international street food while local artisans showcase their unique creations under twinkling market lights. The inaugural event promises to be particularly special, featuring an outdoor cinema screening of the heartwarming film "IF" under the stars.
"We're creating more than just a market – it's a community celebration," says event organiser Jodie Lee.
"Where else can you enjoy gourmet food trucks, watch your children delight in Thomas the Tank Engine and pony rides, then settle in for a family movie night?"
The family-friendly atmosphere is enhanced by unlimited access to entertainment, including a jumping castle, with the modest $5 entry fee covering all rides and activities. Children under three enter free, making it an affordable evening out for families.
The Night Markets will return on Friday, 20 December, offering Newcastle residents another chance to experience this magical evening before Christmas. With convenient onsite parking available for just $3, the markets are set to become a must-visit destination for summer evenings in the Hunter region.
