ANDREW Barr says the Night Noodle Markets will come to Canberra for the 2015 ENLIGHTEN festival.
“For 10 nights from 27 February to 8 March, the ENLIGHTEN Night Noodle Markets will see up to 25 hawker style food stalls operating in the ENLIGHTEN precinct between Reconciliation Place and Commonwealth Place,” Andrew says.
The markets will showcase the essence of the Canberra region food and wine experience within ENLIGHTEN’s event hub, which features roving performers and bars and a backdrop of iconic national attractions with spectacular architectural light projections.
Through VisitCanberra, the ACT Government has invested $200,000 from its Special Events Fund to assist Fairfax Events to bring the Night Noodle Markets to Canberra. The Night Noodle Markets are part of Fairfax’s “Good Food” brand. Fairfax will leverage this funding to deliver interstate media exposure valued at more than $1 million, focusing on key markets in Sydney (which already has a much larger Night Noodle Market) and regional NSW.
