Collingwood People's Market
Pop up entertainment at its best
The only place where everything goes, the People's Market (PM) in Collingwood is sure to meet your every art, music, food, drink, workshop and retail need.
Open until 28 April, "the visual anchors of the PM were its tapestry of interwoven refurbished shipping containers, which are lovingly redesigned, and customised to suite vendors bespoke detailing and requirements".
PM is a community, a dynamic hub of hipster culture.
Right when you enter the site, you’re confronted with four incredible gallery spaces called Containers of Modern Art (COMA). The art schedule is on a monthly rotation and will always feature four artists.
The food is diverse and vast and features an array of options from fusion lettuce cups to meatballs and vegan soul food. Check out PM's food section for featured chefs, cuisine and menus.
PM is a market dream for northerners and visitors alike. Popping up in a neighbourhood near you, this out of the box trend is (temporarily) here to stay.
Eat: We ventured out on a Thursday night and there were only a handful of food vendors open. Tip, secure yourself a seat and initiate a tag team approach to getting food. There's no saving seats here. Dona Tona provided a Mexican fix in the way of handmade blue corn tortillas, sopes, empanadas, tostadas and huaraches using mum’s original recipes from rural Michoacan, Mexico. They're tiny, but pack a punch. I recommend getting four to share. The Street food philosophy continued with American-inspired vegan fare created by South Soul Food. Salivate over a pulled BBQ pork and corn bread ($10-ish)– and all of it 100% meat free. The side wedge of watermelon offered a refreshing relief. Finish off with seasoned crispy french fries ($6) and wash the whole lot down with a PM summer breeze ($10).
