Night Market Unveils Its Summer Plans
A Night Market in Chinatown
Every summer since 2010, Night Market has given Philadelphians a reason to get outside and hang out with one another, many times in neighborhoods not their own. It’s a once-a-month food truck festival hosted by the Food Trust showcasing — through food trucks, live music, twinkly lights, and beer — our diversity as a city-of-neighborhoods, encouraging South Philadelphians to eat in Roxborough, and ‘Yunkers to stroll through Old City. It’s a neat thing they do, and every year, we’re excited to see what’s up for the summer.
And 2017 begins in the Northeast — Burholme to be exact.
On May 11th, from 6-10 p.m., the intersection of Cottman and Rising Sun Avenues known as “Five Points”, will be abuzz with dozens of food and drink vendors, live music, and activities for kids. And that’s a cool thing since the Northeast is quietly one of the most ethnically diverse food centers in the entire city.
The rest of the schedule goes as follows:
- Thursday, May 11: Burholme (Cottman & Rising Sun)
- Thursday, June 29: Spruce Hill (40th & Walnut)
- Thursday, August 10: Roxborough (Ridge & Green)
- Thursday, October 5: Italian Market (Ninth & Washington)
