Wednesday nights are usually uneventful. The only good thing about a Wednesday is that you are half way through the week and you can slowly see the weekend in the horizon.
But now the Queen Victoria Market has done what it does best: a food market. There are stalls for souvlaki, pizza, noodles, dumplings and kangaroo steaks(?!). People are pushing, arguing and haggling among the smokey haze coming from the Sicilian BBQ as they try to get food and simultaneously get cultured.
Yes there are also stalls for you to get overpriced henna tattoos or embarrassing caricatures, and inaccurate tarot readings but these stalls are just sideshows for the main act: the food. The Wednesday Night Market is something every Melbournian and every visitor to Melbourne has to experience, because it can't be explained.
My only piece of advice: get the sangria, always get the sangria.
