Popular Sunset Night Market That Draws Thousands Is Returning For A Lunar New Year Celebration This February

Night markets are becoming increasingly common — and popular in San Francisco. One notable night market that drew thousands was the Sunset Night Market, which brought dozens of local vendors, music, and more to the neighborhood, creating a vibrant evening event for San Franciscans. After a brief break in 2025 , organizers have announced that the market will return in 2026 as part of the Lunar New Year celebrations. The night market is scheduled for February 27 from 5 to 10 pm on Irving Street in the Sunset Neighborhood. While details have yet to be announced, organizers shared the market will include food vendors, entertainment, cultural performances to celebrate the Year of the Horse, and family-friendly activities. In addition to great food, you can expect artisan vendors and local artists at the market. The Sunset Night Market is inspired by the bustling night markets in Asia and aims to support local AAPI businesses. The market is family-friendly and a wonderful chance to support local businesses and creators. The market will join numerous other Lunar New Year festivities, including the popular Chinatown parade and the bustling Flower Market. The market is organized by Sunset Mercantile , which is responsible for numerous other community events in the neighborhood, including regular farmers’ markets in the Outer Sunset every Sunday, stocked with fresh produce, food trucks, and even live music. Another popular event is Second Hand Saturday, held on the third Saturday of each month. The market is inspired by traditional flea markets , but with curated vintage sellers and artists. Organizers are still accepting applications for vendors, and you can register online. Stay tuned for more details about the upcoming night market on February 27, 2026.
