Sweet As: Knafeh x Queen Victoria Market

This festival, Queen Victoria Market transforms into a dessert lover’s dream showcasing desserts from around the globe at Sweet As. Leading the charge are the Bearded Bakers, Ameer and Joey El-Issa, bringing everyone’s favourite sweet treat to the party with Knafeh Bakery.

From 9am to 4pm, the market sheds will buzz with live music, cooking demos, and a world of sweet deliciousness. Start with flaky, syrup-drenched baklava, move on to cinnamon-dusted churros with rich chocolate sauce, or indulge in freshly made crêpes, fluffy doughnuts, and artisanal gelato in flavours such as pistachio and dark chocolate.

And, of course, don’t miss the Knafeh Brothers’ show-stopping dish, served warm with its perfect balance of sweet cheese, crispy pastry, and fragrant syrup.

This festival is more than a celebration of desserts – it’s a cultural experience. Come on down to savour global flavours, enjoy live entertainment, and be part of the vibrant community at Queen Victoria Market.

Come for the knafeh, stay for the fun, and leave with sweet memories that last long after the final bite.

This event runs from 9am to 4pm. Admission is free, with the option to purchase food and drink on the day.
