The final Sunset Night Market of 2026 is named for Dong Zhi, a festival that traditionally marks the longest night of the year. The all-ages market fills Irving Street from 20th to 25th Avenue with food vendors, live entertainment, cultural performances, artisan makers and small businesses, and it is a good spot for holiday gifts from local shops.
Entry is free. There are no parking lots and street parking is extremely limited, so the organizers recommend public transit; bike valet is available on site. Leashed dogs are allowed, though the organizers warn it is crowded and loud. Sunset Mercantile confirmed the date and free entry on October 2, 2026.
