BOCA RATON, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2026) — Boca Raton’s monthly Night Market is back in the heart of downtown, turning Sanborn Square into an evening pop-up of food, sweets, local makers, and live music.
The market is held at 72 N. Federal Highway, with the city listing hours from 6 to 9 p.m. on the first Thursday of the month (October - May). It’s structured as a walkable, come-and-go event with a mix of prepared food, dessert vendors, small-batch products, jewelry, art, and clothing.
For residents who haven’t been, the concept is simple. Downtown gets a set night each month where local vendors set up shop in one place, with music and art layered in. It’s designed for families and groups looking for something to do after work or school, and for shoppers who want local products without committing to a longer weekend market.
The 2025–26 season schedule runs monthly through spring, with dates listed as:
- Oct. 2, 2025
- Nov. 6, 2025
- Dec. 11, 2025
- Jan. 8, 2026
- Feb. 5, 2026
- March 5, 2026
- April 2, 2026
- May 7, 2026
The next Night Market date on the schedule is Thursday, Feb. 5.
The city is also promoting free rides to the market using BocaConnect, described as a new eco-friendly shuttle service. Riders request trips through the Circuit app, which the city says can be used to request a ride in “just a few clicks.” For downtown visitors who don’t want to deal with parking or who plan to make multiple stops, the shuttle option is being marketed as part of the Night Market experience.
Vendor-wise, the event is being positioned as a mix of ready-to-eat food and “market” shopping.
Food vendors listed for the upcoming Night Market include Black Cat Bakery, Frios Gourmet Pops, Uptown Deli Cafe, and Pizzeria Solarino. The lineup also includes sweet options like Strawberry Bites Miami, which is listed as offering chocolate-covered strawberries.
On the market side, the vendor list leans heavily into giftable products and small brands: resin art, vanilla extracts, jewelry, candles, soaps, crystals, granola, ceramics, and preloved clothing. Names listed 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, Pepperprint, Collections by Vivi, KMA Designs by Kelly, and Don’t Quit Your Daydreams Jewelry & Art.
Other vendors listed include 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, Cheese N Charm, and Ancient Tallow.
The city’s description of the event also lists live music, art, and a mobile bar as part of the Night Market setup, making it more than just a vendor row. For readers planning ahead, the schedule format means the market is predictable — first Thursday patterns show up in several months — and the season dates are posted through May.
For downtown Boca residents, the market is another recurring activation of Sanborn Square, pulling foot traffic to the Federal Highway corridor for a few hours at night. For visitors from outside the downtown core, the event is a straightforward reason to come in, walk the square, and sample different vendors without needing a full-day commitment.
