Night Market Philadelphia is Back!

Everyone knows that food trucks are a hot trend right now. What’s not to love about a mobile eatery slinging delicious food? That’s why it’s so exciting that Philly will once again host the Night Market, a gathering of food trucks throughout the city designed to sate the munchies of even the hungriest attendee. This year, nearly 8- food trucks and restaurants will be in on Night Market Philadelphia. Over the course of the summer the festival will be held in four different Philly neighborhoods. This will be the fifth year for the Night Market.

The market will be taking place at South Street West, Lancaster Avenue, Callowhill and Frankford and Girard in Fishtown. For two of those neighborhoods this is a first-time occasion. The Night Market kicks off on Thursday, May 14 with an added street festival in South Street West, starting at Broad Street and expanding to 18th and South streets. The food trucks will be out in force again on June 18th, August 6th, and October 1st. The event will run from 6pm until 10pm each evening. Organizers say that over 60 venders participated in the market last year, and even more are expected to attend this time around. Marketgoers will be treated to live music as well as great food.

Philly’s redoubtable food scene is known for delivering on the variety and deliciousness. No longer just all about the cheesesteaks, Philly’s dining scene has grown in breadth and now encompasses everything you could imagine, from haute cuisine to delicious snacks like water ice and soft pretzels.
