San Francisco has many lovely night markets, showcasing local food and vendors in the city’s various charming neighborhoods. This Friday, Chinatown will host an exciting night market full of local food, live performances, and more. Keep reading for all the details.
Chinatown Night Market June 2026
The Chinatown Night Market debuted a few years ago, attracting large crowds to the neighborhood. The event’s major success prompted organizers to make the night markets a regular occurrence on select Friday evenings.
Now, June’s night market is this Friday, June 12, from 5 to 9 pm. The list of attending vendors is long, with local restaurants serving Dim Sum, sushi, boba, baked goods, and more. We recommend going hungry, so you have plenty of appetite to sample the various food vendors. Attendees can also expect fun activities like a beer and wine garden, lion dancing, art, and more. Plus, you can expect live music and karaoke during the night market.
The night markets are on the second Friday of the month from May through October. Check out the schedule for the rest of the year:
- June 12
- July 10
- August 14
- September 11
- October 9
The night market will take place between California and Pacific on Grant Ave in Chinatown. You can find parking in the Portsmouth Square Garage for $8, as street parking may be difficult to find. If possible, we recommend using public transit due to the large number of people expected to attend. The market is organized by Be Chinatown, an organization that regularly hosts events in the neighborhood.
