The popular night market is back at the old fish quay every Friday and Saturday, with more than eighty stalls selling street food, crafts and second-hand books.
Organisers have added extra lighting and a stage for local musicians. The market runs from six until midnight and entry is free.
Last year the market drew around 15,000 visitors on a busy weekend, and traders say it has become one of the best places in the city to start a small food business.
Businesses in the area have been invited to an information evening at the City Hall, where planners will answer questions and show maps of each stage.
Councillors from all parties agreed that the city should report back regularly, so that people can see how the money is being spent.
