Night markets at Queen Victoria Markets

Thurs 22/8/13

Last night I ventured into the city to get a look at the night markets that are occasionally held at the Queen Victoria Markets. I was expecting to find all the stall holders that frequent the markets during the day, but this wasn't the case. Rather, it was food, alcohol & craft/artisan type stalls, all under one of the large sheds.

There were bands, including a one man band & a blues band which were really good &, would you believe, a silent disco. I saw people dancing with headphones on & thought, what the hell? They're dancing to music only they can hear, so it looks really strange. I don't know if they were all listening to the same music, as there appeared to be maybe 3 DJ's. ( Crystal says silent movies are also popular down here, where you sit in deck chairs out in the open, & listen to the movie with earbuds).
