Travel to Europe through the Melton Night Market

Take your tastebuds on a tour through Europe at the Melton Night Market on March 7.

The Melton Town Centre Amphitheatre will come alive with live music, traditional performances, market stalls and mouth-watering European cuisines.

Food vendors will be serving up Greek, Italian, Polish, German, Dutch and French dishes ranging from easy to eat street food to delectable deserts.

Sanacori Italian Trio will entertain market-goers with traditional Italian music and tarantella dancing at 5.15pm, before Dance Creations brings the glamour and allure of the Moulin Rouge to the stage at 6.15pm.

David Smile will lead an interactive Latin dance workshop at 6.45pm, while Manasis Dance School will showcase traditional Greek dancing at 7.30pm.

Authentic Oompah band, Schunkel Band, will round out the live entertainment with a lively blend of traditional German Oompah music with tuba, accordion, and spirited vocals at 8.15pm.

Melton mayor Steve Abboushi said the night market is a fantastic way to celebrate the municipality’s diversity.

“Immersing ourselves in other cultures and traditions is the best way to learn and build respect for one another,” Cr Abboushi said.

“Mark your calendars and join us in celebrating the shared joy of diversity through food, music, and culture.”

An Oceania theme will cap off the night markets on Friday, April 4, with Polynesian dancing including the Haka and Hula, and more amazing cuisines to try.

Each market will run from 5pm to 9pm.
