BOCA RATON, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2026) — Boca Raton’s Night Market is set to continue its 2025-26 season in downtown Boca Raton, giving residents a recurring evening event built around food, small businesses, live entertainment and public gathering space in the center of the city.
The market is held at Sanborn Square, 72 N. Federal Highway, and runs on Thursdays from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The city describes it as a monthly event featuring food options, sweet treats, local artists and makers, live music, art and a mobile bar. That puts it squarely in the mix of downtown community events aimed at drawing both residents and visitors into the city core after work hours.
For Boca Raton, the location matters. Sanborn Square sits in a visible stretch of downtown near City Hall and other civic spaces, making the event easy to find and easy to tie into the broader downtown area. It is not a pop-up tucked away in a private venue. It is a public-facing city event in one of Boca Raton’s central gathering spots.
The remaining season dates listed by the city are April 2, 2026, and May 7, 2026. The full 2025-26 season schedule began Oct. 2, 2025, followed by Nov. 6, Dec. 11, Jan. 8, Feb. 5 and March 5. The monthly format gives the event a steady place on the calendar rather than making it a one-off festival.
The upcoming vendor list shows a mix of prepared food, desserts, baked goods and handmade retail products. Food vendors scheduled for the market include Black Cat Bakery, Frios Gourmet Pops, Uptown Deli Cafe and Pizzeria Solarino. That lineup gives the event a blend of snack, dessert and meal options, which is important for a market scheduled during dinner hours.
The market vendor roster is broader and reflects the kind of small-scale retail mix these events often depend on. Vendors listed for the upcoming market 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, Vales Candles, Plants Be With You, Ancient Tallow, Pepperprint, Collections by Vivi, KMA Designs by Kelly, 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, Strawberry Bites Miami - Chocolate Covered Strawberries, Pink Moon Delray Jewelry, and Cheese N Charm.
That vendor list points to what the Night Market is trying to be. It is not just a food event and not just an arts market. It combines edible goods, handmade products, clothing, accessories, candles, jewelry, ceramics and specialty items into one downtown stop. For local makers, that creates direct access to foot traffic in a city setting. For residents, it offers a chance to shop small without the structure of a traditional indoor market.
The city’s description also makes clear that live music, art and a mobile bar are part of the event format. Those pieces matter because they shift the market from a simple vendor lineup into a fuller evening outing. People can browse, eat, stay longer and treat it as a social event rather than a quick errand.
For residents, the practical takeaway is simple. The Night Market is a recurring downtown Boca Raton event held at Sanborn Square on select Thursdays from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., with the 2025-26 season running through May 7, 2026. Anyone planning to attend should watch the city’s event information for final vendor updates or any schedule changes tied to a specific date.
The event also fits into a broader pattern Boca Raton has leaned on in recent years: using public spaces downtown for regular community programming that brings people into the area outside standard business hours. In that sense, the Night Market is not just a vendor event. It is part of how the city activates one of its central public spaces and keeps downtown in regular use.
