Darlo Night Markets Darlinghurst

Darlo Night Markets – Vintage Fashion, Food & DJs

On the third Saturday of the month, Darlinghurst’s St John’s Anglican Church doesn’t just open its doors — it throws them wide to a courtyard that morphs into a night market with serious swagger. Forget sleepy parish vibes: under the gothic spires you’ll find racks of pre-loved fashion, upcycled designer one-offs, and enough street food to fuel your entire weekend. DJs cut through the night air as the crowd drifts between bao buns and vintage denim, churros and crate-digging beats. It’s the kind of scene where locals, night owls, and curious wanderers collide — some warming up for Oxford Street, others bringing the dog and the kids for a low-key Saturday session. A market with community roots, but dressed in Darlinghurst edge.

The BioHax Take

If Bondi got a little too clean for its own good, Darlo is where the grit and glitter still hang out together. The Night Market is the perfect pre-game — not a rave, not a dinner, not a shopping trip, but somehow all three. You’ll dig through racks of vintage denim, grab a bao bun between stalls, and nod along to a DJ set that feels more rooftop than roadside. Add in the fact it’s pet friendly (yes, even your Frenchie gets a look-in), and you’ve got the ultimate Saturday night starter pack.


Who It’s For

  • Vintage hunters who treat thrifting like sport

  • Food truck grazers who refuse to “just have one”

  • Oxford Street wanderers looking for a pit stop with culture

  • Families chasing a low-key night out with live music

  • Dog parents who think their pooch deserves socialising, too


What’s On Offer

  • Vintage & Pre-Loved Fashion — racks of one-off pieces, upcycled threads, and designer bargains with attitude.

  • Street Food & Sweet Treats — global bites from bao to brownies, fueling you as you shop.

  • Live DJs & Music — local talent spinning a soundtrack that turns the courtyard into a dance floor.

  • Pet-Friendly Perks — stalls stocking treats and gear just for your furry wingman.

  • Community Vibes — locals, visitors, and everyone in between gathering in the heart of Darlo.


Sustainability Snapshot

Upcycled fashion, pre-loved goods, and independent designers leading the charge in waste-free wardrobes. Street food vendors lean local, and the pop-up style keeps it light on footprint, heavy on culture.
