Columbia City Night Market

The Columbia City Night Market returns to the Columbia City neighborhood on Saturday, October 17, from 6 PM to 10 PM. It's an after-dark celebration that takes over four city blocks around 37th and Edmunds in South Seattle, filling the streets with food, music, art, and local makers. The market runs every third Saturday of the month, year-round, rain or shine, so if you miss this one, there's another one coming a few weeks later.

There's a clear focus here: the market spotlights talent with a priority on Black-owned businesses, and that comes through in the mix of vendors you'll find. String lights hang over the venue, and the early evening is the kid-friendly window, while the beer garden in the Bank of America parking lot serves a rotating selection of adult beverages to those over 21. Well-behaved dogs on a leash are welcome, too.

It's free and open to the public to enter and wander, so you can just show up and walk the blocks. Food, drinks, and vendor goods are available for purchase throughout the night, and the beer garden is 21+ only. The stage and the beer garden are both located in the Bank of America parking lot at the corner of 37th and Edmunds, which puts the music and the drinks in the same spot. The whole thing runs from 6 PM to 10 PM on Saturday, October 17, in the Columbia City neighborhood of Seattle.
