The Thousands

The East End loves to talk up its ‘cosmopolitan’ credentials. Sure, at 1am on a Friday or Saturday its cosmopolitanism errs more on the side of this or this, but on the whole they’re onto something – footpath dining, independent stores nestled alongside the boutiques of selected Australian labels, decent coffee in all directions, and Ebenezer Place – oh you! You’re lovely!

This summer Ebenezer is getting all Portobello on our asses with a Friday night market! It takes all the best parts of the actual metropolises that we’re constantly checking Webjet for cheap flights to, and brings them to our very own cosy boutique-lined backstreet. A touch of New York via Burger Theory, a whiff of Paris courtesy of The Curious Cabinet, Seattle-worthy vintage from Clubhouse Lane Boutique, Heart On Her Sleeve and The Carnabetian Army Store, an outdoor dance party that wouldn’t be out of place in Berlin, and even a dash of Melbourne thrown in with an open air cinema. Yes, the East End is a pocket of Adelaide that deserves its cosmopolitan moniker. Soak it up at The Local Market.
