The Perth Hills has welcomed the hugely popular monthly Kalamunda Night Markets back for the summer season. The street market was once held on the main street, it’s now on a Friday night, in the town’s Central Mall, and occasionally Stirk Park.
Both sides of the narrow mall are lined with a mix of food trucks, hawker food stalls, as well as live entertainment. 
The mall redevelopment has also included a small area for kids to walk on stepping logs.
Down the Haynes Street end of “Central Walk”, where the weekly farmers markets are held, you’ll find loads of arts, giftware and craft stalls too.
There’s always a huge choice of cuisines from all around the world.
Pizza is always a crowd-pleaser – this Meatlovers with ham, Italian sausage and bacon went down a treat.
The big line up of trucks and vendors changes each month, some of them may include huge dishes of paella, freshly cooked stir fry noodles,
European, Middle Eastern and Asian cuisines, swirling potatoes on a stick, and more. I can never resist a satay and the whiff of charred meats lured me in. There were satay sticks galore at the markets.
There’s plenty of sweet options too. I was “accidentally healthy” choosing Coco Whip for dessert. A soft serve, dairy, gluten and nasty-free dessert made from coconut milk.
There are buskers around playing live music, and a fun Silent Disco with flashing headphones. The entertainment changes for each market and may include a face painter and other activities.
We’re always really impressed with the food from the Kalamunda Night Markets. It can get very busy and I’d recommend getting there early.
