This is your prime opportunity to shop handcrafted gifts made with love and discover creatively decorated treasures that are perfect for your seasonal shopping list.

A Feast for the Palate

No quality market experience is complete without exceptional dining, and the HOTA market leans into the gourmet side of street food. Attendees can feast on festive bites and merry drinks while exploring the stalls. The lineup features some of the best vendors in SEQLD, including slow-cooked pork sliders from Pork On Your Spork. For an indulgent, savory moment, you can look forward to French Raclette Cheese from Monsieur Cheesy. When it comes to dessert, those looking to satisfy a sweet craving will find Japanese Souffle pancakes served up by Lamun.

Live Entertainment and Magic

The atmosphere is set to be engaging and lively, featuring a fantastic lineup of live entertainment for all ages. Expect live tunes by the lake from the Camali Band, alongside specific kids’ activities designed for fun.

A particularly magical highlight will be the sight of the festive bubble fairy and Japanese Drummers, who are set to create an experience that may just make your “little elves squeal with joy”.

And of course, Christmas wouldn’t be complete without him. Your favorite man in the red suit, Santa, will be there celebrating too. Guests are invited to meet Santa for magical photo moments and snap the cutest possible holiday gift card picture.
