Frequently Asked Questions

The Ebenezer Night Markets have been held since 2012. Originating as a pilot Splash Adelaide initiative (formerly known as East End Summer Fridays), Ebenezer Night Markets aim to provide activity and vibrancy to the East End by featuring 45 stall holders on each night selling a variety of items including food, jewellery, arts, crafts and fashion. Music (ordinarily by way of a DJ) is played during the event. 

Stall holders are invited to attend by the event organiser. During the event dates (see ‘schedule’ opposite), it is proposed that Ebenezer Place between Union Street and Rundle Street will be closed to vehicular traffic between 2.30pm and 11:59pm. 

To facilitate the road closures, it is proposed that all the on-street parking spaces on Ebenezer Place will be changed to ‘No stopping’ from 1pm -midnight on each event day. 

Pedestrian access would be maintained along Ebenezer Place and the event site will not be fenced.
