The popular Town Square at Newmarket Night Market returns as lively and family‑friendly as ever to Alberton’s lifestyle centre on Friday, 10 April 2026. Read on to see what’s in store.
A Night Market under the fairy lights in Alberton
The Night Market is the first of its kind in Alberton and promises a night of fun-filled family entertainment, delicious food, tasty drinks, and a combination of live music and DJs.
Under shimmering fairy‑light installations and amidst cobbled‑style paving, visitors can explore over 100 stalls featuring gourmet food trucks, craft vendors, drinks bars, live music and DJ sets, creating a festive atmosphere designed to delight all ages.
Children can enjoy interactive elements like Waldo’s Jungle play gym, water features, face painting, balloon artists and ceramic‑painting stations, while selfie walls and photo spots provide perfect evening memories. Plus, look out for the SNAP.SCAN.WIN photo station and stand the chance to win big prizes from Town Square at Newmarket stores.
The market promises to be one for the books as it does not just stop at the great food, craft and drink vendors at the Night Market – but it is also located right next to a number of surrounding top-dining options at the centre itself.
Both adults and kids will have their fun with various stalls that cater for everyone’s needs.
