Axford Park will come alive with food from across the globe and family-friendly activities as part of the return of the Mt Hawthorn Hawkers Markets in 2023.

The market, which was a local institution, began in 2014 at Axford Park on Scarborough Beach Road, with dozens of hawker-style street food stalls and trucks, live music and kids’ activities

It was held every Friday each summer but was paused in 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Vincent is pleased to announce that Roz Collins from In the Bag Promotions will be operating the markets in 2023.

The first market will be a pop-up on Friday 14 April, 4.30 – 8.30pm at Axford Park before the full season launches over the Grand Final weekend on 29 September, running through to 26 April 2024.

Deputy Mayor Susan Gontaszewski said she was looking forward to seeing the popular market up and running again.

“Roz is a seasoned events professional and has run the successful Kyilla Community Farmers’ Market every Saturday morning for many years,” she said.

“I am looking forward to attending her first pop-up market, which will be a taster for what’s to come.

“It would be fantastic to see families and foodies from our Vincent community and across Perth return to Mt Hawthorn for the markets.”

Ms Collins said visitors could expect food options from around the globe with gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options available.

“The Mt Hawthorn Hawkers Market promises to be the perfect start to the weekend with great food options, lots of fun, free activities for the kids to enjoy and great vibes,” she said.

“Some of Perth's best street food will be joining us including some of our much-loved local eateries.

“Visitors are welcome to bring a picnic rug and dogs on a leash are welcome.”

The Mt Hawthorn Hawkers Market is on Friday 14 April from 4.30 – 8.30pm at Axford Park, Mt Hawthorn. Visit events to find out more.
