Event summary

Highlights

Local food vendors from Beaumont Street
Live music and roving performers
Family attractions
Revitalized Awaba Park setting

The Hawker Street Markets is presented as a recurring event that injects new life into the Hamilton area, specifically activating Awaba Park, also known as Hamilton Station Park, located on Beaumont Street. This event celebrates the park's reopening after a $290,000 overhaul, jointly backed by the City of Newcastle and the state government, which aimed to improve amenity and public safety.

Attendees can expect a vibrant night market atmosphere, complete with neon lights and a long communal dining table. Families are encouraged to relax on beanbags and mats spread across the lawn. The event's all-local menu is supplied by Beaumont Street establishments such as In Forno, Cakeboi, The Pho, Sushi Revolution, and Darby Raj. Beyond culinary delights, the markets feature live musical performances and interactive roving entertainers, including a "lollipop lady" distributing free treats.
