Queen Victoria Market

Picture this: a balmy summer night spent filling your belly and quenching your thirst from a selection of global street food stalls, carts, trucks and festival bars. If that sounds right up your alley, then mark November 23 in your calendar, because that's when the Queen Vic Market's much-loved Summer Night Market returns.  This year, more than 125 shops, stalls and bars will light up the open-air market sheds across a bumper 15-week season. Highlights include street tacos by Mr Miyagi, flambéed camembert by Ripe Cheese, hummus bowls by Mr Yes and Mr No, souvas by the Cypriot Kitchen, Portuguese tarts by Casa Nata, Jamaican street food by the Real Jerk and cartoon-themed treats by Son in Law.  When you get thirsty, Antagonist Spirits will once again be on deck mixing up a range of fresh and fruity cocktails, and resident brewers Brick Lane will be pouring its amber nectars. As always, you can expect roving performers and a rotating line-up of homegrown talent playing live music on the market's main stage. After sipping and snacking, be sure to explore the dozens of stalls selling locally-sourced and handmade products including jewellery, art, skincare, books and homewares.  Looking for more things to do?

If you haven't heard of Among Us, it's quite possible that you've been living under a rock, so let's get you up to speed. Released in 2018, the online space-themed game has players working as astronauts; most players are crewmates, but a few are imposters tasked with slyly killing crewmates and bluffing their way to being the last ones standing. It's an addictive game of social deduction, and now a real-life version called Saboteurs has made its way to Melbourne.  Just like its inspiration, Saboteurs is set on a moon base replete with features like a decontamination unit, medbay, sleep pods and mining tools. Complete tasks like watering the plants, mining moon opals, tuning communications and establishing shields while also keeping an eye out for the imposter amongst the crew. Survive, detect and eject them before you die.  The game has launched at Testing Grounds in the Queen Victoria Market Precinct and can be played daily from 8am to 10pm. Sessions can host up to 15 players and last 40 minutes (including a ten-minute induction). Bookings are essential and can be made here. Looking for more fun in the city?
