BOCA RATON, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2026) — Boca Raton’s monthly Night Market returns Thursday, Jan. 8, filling Sanborn Square with food vendors, local artists, live music, and art from 6 to 9 p.m. The event marks the first Night Market of the 2026 calendar year and continues a downtown series that runs monthly through May.
Sanborn Square sits just off Federal Highway at 72 N. Federal Hwy., a familiar gathering spot for city events. Tonight’s market brings together a wide mix of food options, sweet treats, and small businesses, with a mobile bar on site and live entertainment throughout the evening.
Food vendors scheduled for tonight include Black Cat Bakery, Frios Gourmet Pops, Uptown Deli Cafe, Pizzeria Solarino, and Strawberry Bites Miami, known for chocolate-covered strawberries. Wildflour Sourdough Bakery is also listed among vendors offering baked goods.
A large slate of market vendors will line the square, featuring handmade and specialty items. Artists and makers expected tonight include Zely ASouza Resin Art, Deep Purpose Jewelry, Vales Candles, KMA Designs by Kelly, Pink Moon Delray Jewelry, Cheese N Charm, and Gifts from Gaia Crystal Shop.
Other vendors range from soaps and personal care products to clothing, accessories, and home goods. Those include Batched and Cured Soaps, Ancient Tallow, ArmHer Safety Accessories, Ivy Soffin Clothing & Accessories, Poppin Loom Clothing, Sun + Soul Clothing, ReSurf Sisters Preloved Clothing & More, Bubbleletter M Ceramics Studio, Pepperprint, Collections by Vivi, Seafin Creations, Plants Be With You, Linda’s Take Granola, La Vida Vanilla Extracts, and Don’t Quit Your Daydreams Jewelry & Art.
The Night Market is designed as a walkable, family-friendly evening event. Attendees can browse vendor tents, grab dinner or dessert, and listen to live music while moving through the square. Events are held rain or shine unless otherwise announced.
Tonight’s market is part of the city’s broader 2025–26 Night Market season. Upcoming dates are already set, with markets scheduled for Feb. 5, March 5, April 2, and May 7. Each takes place on a Thursday evening from 6 to 9 p.m. at the same downtown location.
Earlier dates in the season included events in October, November, and December, drawing steady crowds downtown as cooler weather arrived. City officials have positioned the Night Market as a recurring community event aimed at supporting local businesses and activating the downtown core during evening hours.
There is no admission fee listed for the market. Parking is available in nearby downtown garages and street spaces, though attendees are encouraged to plan ahead as the area can become busy during peak evening hours.
