Christmas trees, snow machines, Christmas puddings, eggnog and Christmas carollers will transform the Market into a winter wonderland for five weeks only.

Visitors will be encouraged to embrace the northern hemisphere’s love for ugly Christmas sweaters with on-the-spot Winter Night Market vouchers for those rocking the most festive styles.

The Book Nook is back again this year; a dedicated space for book lovers to explore new and pre-loved titles from local booksellers, Sweet Clarity Books, Mary Martin Bookshop and Gnosis Books.

For those more musically-inclined, Rumble Book & Records will also have second-hand CDs, DVDs, vinyls and cassettes. Wednesday nights in Melbourne are set to heat up with the 13-week season kicking off on 5 June 2019.
