Big day for Little Africa

Central Footscray will be transformed into a cultural hub and feast for the senses on Saturday, March 15, thanks to the Little Africa Night Market.

A celebration of African heritage, the night market will offer visitors a diverse line-up of food, fashion, and entertainment.

A range of delicacies will be available from food trucks and local food traders who will be extending their businesses into the street with stalls, including the ever-popular Amasya Kebab House, which will be serving up delicious Gözleme.

All food sold at the night market will be halal.

Fashion lovers will also be treated to a unique showcase, as local clothing traders display their latest styles in the connectivity centre, highlighting African fashion and design.

Adding to the vibrant atmosphere, there will be roving performances throughout the evening, with a special appearance from giant puppets, Gemma Giraffe and friends.

“The Little Africa Night Market is more than just a market – it’s a celebration of community, culture, and connection,” Maribyrnong mayor Pradeep Tiwari said.

“Events like this showcase the incredible diversity of Footscray while also supporting local businesses and creating a safer, more connected neighbourhood.”
