Coburg Night Market
Coburg Night Market is held in Merri-bek every year, across three exciting dates December. We showcase the spirit of Melbourne’s north with incredible food, handmade goods and free live entertainment for all ages.
Set in the historic Bridges Reserve – just a short stroll from the Coburg CBD – this much-loved local event celebrates the best of our community: delicious flavours, creative makers and a warm, family-friendly atmosphere.
