Brisbane Night Market, Rocklea (Brisbane)

I found out about Brisbane Night Market in my quest to explore the markets across Brisbane!This one opens every Friday from 4pm to 10pm, and the same organizers also run the Saturday Fresh Market and the Sunday Discovery Market at the same location. It did take quite a bit of time to travel out here by public transport from the city centre though, so do budget enough time for your commute. As the market was completely undercover, we didn’t need to worry about it suddenly raining. However, because of this same reason, it was also terribly hot and stuffy inside (probably due to the heat build-up from all the lights and cooking in the venue). Might have been better to visit during a season other than summer. Of all the markets I’ve ever been to, this was the first one that imposed an entry fee of $2.50 per person. Affordable, but unusual. Majority of the stalls here were selling food, and the few shopping stalls that lined the sides near the entrance weren’t selling anything particularly interesting so that was a bummer. Towards the back, there were numerous food trucks selling a wide variety of cuisines: Thai food, Japanese food, Spanish food, French desserts and even Hungarian food. However, I didn’t know the focus would be so heavily on food, was hoping for more shopping stalls. My overall rating of the experience: 3 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #tripmoments #markets #food #rocklea #brisbane #australia
