Community tables are for sharing information, offering resources, and connecting with neighbors— not for selling products or services.
To keep the Night Market welcoming and nonpartisan, faith-based and politically-based organizations, products, or services are not permitted.
• Handouts, sign-ups, and interactive activities are welcome, as long as they’re consistent with our mission of inclusivity and community-building.
• Respect the flow: keep walkways clear, engage people respectfully, and avoid aggressive solicitation.
Why these guidelines?
The Night Market is a shared, joyful space. We want every visitor to feel welcome, no matter their beliefs or affiliations. By keeping community tabling non-commercial and nonpartisan, we ensure the focus stays on building connections and strengthening the neighborhood.

We don’t host faith- or politically-based orgs, products, or services to keep the market welcoming, non-partisan, and focused on community commerce.

Paid gigs available!
The Night Market stage is about energy, connection, and movement. Whether you’re a solo busker or a full band, our selection process is simple but intentional:
1. Submit your act: Click Here for Application
2. Curation process: We review every submission with our mission in mind. We prioritize genres and performances that align with our values and mission— think jazz, soul, R&B, hip hop, funk, dance, and adjacent styles— especially those that can engage the crowd, get people moving, and bring joy to the street. We’re not exclusionary. While these genres get priority, we welcome all performances that create connection and fit the community-first vibe of the Night Market.
3. We believe artists deserve compensation. See our guide below for info on pay rates for on stage performances.
