Every Thursday from 5 pm, the heart of Rotorua comes alive with music, food, crafts, and plenty of people, thanks to the weekly night market. It’s a festive atmosphere, with the lively comings and goings of locals and visitors making the most of fitting in as many dumplings, doughnuts, burritos and burgers as possible in one easy place. A variety of ethnic cuisines (including Croatian, Indian, French patisseries, handmade Italian pasta and of course local kai) are all on offer here, and while you’re snacking, you can pull up a chair to a shared table and be entertained by local musicians.
When you’ve filled up on food, it’s definitely worth perusing the art, craft and clothing stalls too — some of the best local makers come here to sell their wares, and there’s nothing quite like chatting with the person responsible for making your new mittens, beanie, soap or satchel.
