About
Box Hill comes alive across 3 Saturday evenings
Set in the heart of one of Whitehorse's most vibrant and culturally diverse precincts, Box Hill is a popular gathering space for our community to eat, connect and explore.
Across 3 Saturday evenings, these new Twilight Markets will celebrate Box Hill's energy, creativity and love of food.
With street food, local traders and artisan stalls spread throughout the Box Hill Mall, the markets offer a chance to experience the precinct in a new and exciting way.
It's a place to wander, taste something new, support local traders and soak up the buzz at day turns into night.
What's On
Food sits at the centre of the Box Hill Twilight Market, with a rotating mix of vendors reflecting the area's strong and diverse food culture.
Across the evening, you'll find street food and sweet treats inspired by a range of cuisines, alongside local traders and artisan makers offering handmade and unique finds.
With different vendors and flavours across the series, each visit offerings something new to try, whether arriving with dinner in mind or grazing as you go.
Traders and programming will vary by date. Full details are shared closer to each market.
