Since 2014, Peddler Market has grown into one of the country's leading street food events so it's no surprise that the line-up of vendors is pretty impressive.
Hungry punters can grab some delicious tacos from Birria Bandits, greek gyros from Thatziki, pizza from New Yorkshire Pizza Co., authentic Thai cuisine from Tikks Thai and so much more.
There will also be market stalls for you to browse, from Leeds legend The Savvy Baker to local maker Fae Candle Co.
Whilst you're scranning and shopping, you'll also be able to enjoy live music from a range of acts including The Rushbonds and Mica Sefia.
But it doesn't stop there as BoomChikkaBoom, a Leeds-based company that offers activities for children, will be bringing fun arts and crafts for the younger ones over the weekend.
The market will be open both days from 12 - 10pm and it is set to be a weekend to remember full of fun, friends and plenty of food.

Event director Lucy Bailey spoke about the event: “Peddler Market is quite a destination. It's really well known in Sheffield, we can get anywhere between six and 10,000 people over a weekend come down when we're hosting.
"And that kind of customer base is really loyal. We not only showcase the best in UK street food, we platform upcoming musicians and local makers and artists as well. It really draws the crowds in and there's something for everybody.”

A much-loved independent restaurant in Leeds has announced it will be closing its doors.
Kuala Lumpur Cafe opened its doors in Headingley in 2019 by Bart and Hirman, who wanted to bring authentic Malaysian cooking to the city of Leeds.
Throughout the years, they'd built up a reputation for their beautiful curries and vibrant street food dishes, all of which were made using Hirman's family recipes.
So much so, that in 2024 they opened a kitchen inside White Cloth Hall in the city centre when the Grade II listed food hall first opened.
Their kitchen sadly closed a year later, but their Headingley restaurant remained open serving the students and locals with their famous beef rendang, nasi lemak and more.
Sadly, Kuala Lumpur Cafe have taken to social media to announce that they will be closing their doors for good as of this Saturday 17 October.
Their statement reads: "Thank you to all our customers and team that made Kuala Lumpur Cafe possible across the last few years. After a long consideration, we have decided that our last trading day will be Saturday 17 October.
"If you have a booking after this date, we'll be calling you over the next few days to try to move it to an earlier date before we close.
"It's been our pleasure to serve Malaysian food to the community. Best regards, KL Cafe."
Of course, in true Leeds fashion, local businesses and customers flocked to the comments to express their sadness and show their support.
One comment reads: "Such a shame. This was genuinely the best Malay food I had outside of Malaysia. Will be missed greatly", whilst another thanks the cafe for "all the delicious food over the years".
If you want to visit Kuala Lumpur Cafe one last time, then you have until this Saturday to do so. Go and wish them a proper farewell.
