Cary Night Market

Located at the award-winning Downtown Cary Park, Cary Night Market is held one Friday a month. Downtown Cary Park boasts two dog parks, an open air snack and drink bar, a splash park, and more! In order to offer the best experience possible, our markets in Cary host between 45-50 hand-picked vendors. These artisans, food trucks, and prepared food vendors are scheduled and intentionally rotated so that the Cary community has access to fresh unique businesses each market! We look forward to seeing y'all there.
