Night Noodle Markets
It wouldn't be the Crave Sydney International Food Festival without the Night Noodle Markets, the authentic Asian hawker market that pops up in Hyde Park across two fabulous weeks.
This year's market has doubled in size with up to 40 tantalising food stalls, live Asian-inspired entertainment, three bars and the chilled-out Coopers beer garden. This year we've added a special new Middle Eastern-themed area in line with our Festival focus on the food of Lebanon and beyond. Drop in after work or come into the city on a balmy spring night to meet friends and family and soak up the atmosphere.
