Hurstville's popular night markets are set to become a permanent fixture.
This week's meeting of Georges River Council endorsed the continuation of the Hurstville night markets to support the local night-time economy and cultural vibrancy.
The Georges River Association's application to host the Hurstville Night Market in December 2025 was not approved by the Council. Georges River Association has now applied to host the 11th annual Hurstville Night Market on Saturday, January 10, 2026, from 2:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., with a New Year's celebration theme.
We intend to hold the Hurstville Night Market on the second Saturday of each month. The Georges River Council requires separate applications for each night market. Once our night market application is approved by the Council, we will announce it on this website.
📍 Location: Hurstville Plaza, 292 Forest Road, Hurstville
🕑 Time: Saturday 2:30 PM – 9:30 PM
The event will feature a variety of authentic foods and performances, allowing you to experience a diverse cultural feast of Southern Sydney all in one place! From savory pancakes, offal stew, grilled squid, and dumplings, to unique Taste of Shunde delicacies – such as double-layered milk pudding and roasted suckling pig – there's something for everyone to enjoy.
In addition to the food, there will be exciting cultural performances and parent-child interactive activities, ensuring that both adults and children can enjoy a wonderful evening in a lively atmosphere. The Hurstville Night Market has become a new landmark for food and culture for residents of Southern Sydney, allowing you and your family and friends to experience the unity and warmth of the community amidst delicious food and laughter without having to travel to Chatswood, Burwood, or Eastwood!
The Tenth Hurstville Night Market was proudly presented by the Georges River Association on Saturday, November 8th 2025. This night market celebrated the Bruce Lee’s 85th birthday.
Congratulation Letter from NSW State Premier Mr CHRIS MINNS:
I wish to commend Mr Jun Qi and his team in the Georges River Association for their hard work organising the Hurstville Night Markets to pay tribute on Bruce Lee's 85th birthday. It was an exciting evening for everyone in the community, featuring martial art showcases, street food and even a visit from the Sydney Swans. Bruce Lee was an inspiration who paved the way for the Chinese community and fought against stereotypes with his influential martial arts style that gained a following through his many films. As a tribute, groups represented different styles of martial arts and delivered high‑energy performances in his honour. The Sydney Swans appeared with their activation stall, encouraging everyone to get involved in the great Aussie sport of AFL. Many families participated, being able to get sporting tips from some of the Swans.
