Night Noodle Markets

The Night Noodle Markets are guaranteed to get everyone out after dark! This authentic Asian hawker market held in Hyde Park north draws huge crowds each year and 2009 was no exception. Over the ten nights (October 12- 16 and 19 - 23, 2009) more than 100,000 people dropped in to meet friends and family, snack on noodles, dumplings and other Asian treats in the open air.

The Coopers Beer Garden was the number one destination to relax, eat and enjoy a Coopers ale. The eco-friendly beer garden represented the average Australian backyard, with a focus on sustainable food production and community gardening. It embraced the notion of re-using, recycling and sustainability, all part of the Coopers credo.
