BOCA RATON, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2026) — The City of Boca Raton’s monthly Night Market will close out its 2025–26 season Thursday, May 7, with its final event scheduled from 6 to 9 p.m. at Sanborn Square in the downtown district.
The Night Market, held at 72 North Federal Highway, has operated as a recurring city-hosted event bringing together food vendors, local artists, and small businesses for an outdoor evening market in the center of downtown Boca Raton. The May event marks the last scheduled market before the seasonal break, with the program set to resume in October.
City programming places the Night Market as a community-focused event, combining prepared food, retail vendors, and live entertainment in a centralized public space. The market operates monthly during the season, typically drawing residents and visitors to Sanborn Square for a mix of dining and shopping options in a walkable setting.
For the final May 7 event, participating food vendors include Black Cat Bakery, Frios Gourmet Pops, Uptown Deli Cafe, and Pizzeria Solarino. Additional specialty offerings include Strawberry Bites Miami, serving chocolate-covered strawberries.
The market vendor lineup spans a wide range of local makers and small businesses. Scheduled participants include Zely ASouza Resin Art, La Vida Vanilla Extracts, Deep Purpose Jewelry, Batched and Cured Soaps, Gifts from Gaia Crystal Shop, Linda’s Take Granola, and Vales Candles. Other vendors include Plants Be With You, Ancient Tallow, Pepperprint, Collections by Vivi, and KMA Designs by Kelly.
Additional retail and artisan booths are expected from Don’t Quit Your Daydreams Jewelry & Art, Ivy Soffin Clothing & Accessories, ArmHer Safety Accessories, ReSurf Sisters Preloved Clothing & More, Wildflour Sourdough Bakery, Poppin Loom Clothing, Bubbleletter M Ceramics Studio, Sun + Soul Clothing, Seafin Creations, Pink Moon Delray Jewelry, and Cheese N Charm.
City organizers describe the Night Market as a platform for local entrepreneurs and artists to connect directly with the public while activating downtown public space during evening hours. The inclusion of live music and a mobile bar is part of the standard event format.
Sanborn Square, located along Federal Highway in the city’s downtown core, serves as a central gathering space for municipal events, festivals, and seasonal programming. The Night Market is one of several recurring events scheduled there throughout the year.
The May 7 event closes out a full season that began in October 2025 and included monthly markets on November 6, December 11, January 8, February 5, March 5, and April 2. The city has already scheduled the next season to begin October 2, 2026, continuing the same monthly format through the following spring.
The City of Boca Raton manages the event schedule and vendor coordination as part of its parks, recreation, and cultural programming. Residents and visitors attending the May event can expect standard downtown conditions, including limited nearby street parking during peak hours and increased pedestrian activity in the immediate area.
No changes to the event format have been announced for the upcoming season. The Night Market is expected to return in the fall with a similar structure, continuing its role as a recurring downtown activation event.
