This is the first time the Market has ever held a nighttime event and if it's successful, Meldrum said, it's possible it could be turned into an annual part of the market. Normally the market runs every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Kercheval Avenue in the business/retail district.
The market will not be open or set up during the daytime on Saturday as a result of the special event. For this season, it replaces one of the longer market days, which normally would have operated until 3 p.m. and included closing down Kercheval Avenue with more vendors that normal.
