The Rocks Lunar Markets
The air is alive, filled with the sights, scents and sounds of delicious Asian street food. Bright red lanterns and festoon lighting sway overhead, and cascading lantern displays spilling into Kendall Lane.
From the moment you step into The Rocks Lunar Markets you’ll be surrounded by vibrant stalls, live music and sense of celebration. Expect a few unique editions, as well as your favourite weekly stallholders bringing lunar-inspired twists to their usual fare, like melt-in-your-mouth lychee gelato.
But it’s not just about the food. Colourful market streets are the perfect place to find artisan and handcrafted gifts, homewares and textiles. Keep your eye out for traditional lion dance performances too.
The Rocks Lunar Markets are on Thursday to Sunday, 30 January to 9 February.
