General Questions
Inspired by vibrant outdoor markets popular throughout Europe and Asia, night markets are social outdoor events where food, retail, and educational vendors offer a variety of fresh, local street foods, arts & crafts, and other family-friendly fare.
Bustling with excitement and fun, we are your destination for food, shopping, and entertainment!
The Night Market is located on Drake Field, 155 Willowbend Rd, Peachtree City, GA 30269
YES! However this year there are additional costs to put the event on, so we have implemented a beer garden and are charging $5 per person to enter.
A community gathering open to all, Night Market is an evening event created primarily for those 18 and over.
We encourage parents and families to use the same judgement they do in bringing children to events such as concerts at The Fred where alcoholic beverages are available for sale.
Of course. Our venue is easily accessible by wheelchair.
Dogs are welcome, but must be kept on a leash for the duration of the festival.
Whenever possible, Night Market will be held on the third Friday of the month, from March through November, but inevitably it is up to Peachtree City Government to offer us dates. Please check our calendar page for a current list of upcoming events.
We will have 6-8 food trucks at each event, along with something sweet for dessert! If you are a food vendor and are interested, click here.
Yup! Craft beer, mixed drinks, and wine will be available. Those who plan to purchase alcohol will need to show their ID and get a wristband from the Night Market tent, near the beer garden.
Per City code ordinance, no alcohol may be brought into the Festival area. Beer and wine will be available for purchase at several locations throughout the Market. As always, alcoholic beverages purchased at the Festival must remain on-site. The Peachtree City Police Department and volunteers of the Night Market will ask you to dispose of any alcoholic beverage before you exit or enter.
Soft Drinks, lemonade, ice tea and water (all of your favorites) will be located throughout the event. Per City guidelines, no alcohol or beer may be brought into the Festival area. No glass bottles may be brought into the area.
We may have one band playing throughout the night, or we may break it up and give multiple artists a chance to perform. Either way, you're sure to be entertained! We are currently accepting applications for entertainment. If you are interested, click here.
A maximum of 100 of the finest local, regional and national artists, with an emphasis on Fayette County and Georgian artists. All artist applicants will be selected by a jury of their peers based on the merit of their work as well as booth presentation. To apply, click here.
Many of the Artists are equipped to accept credit cards payments, however, keep in mind that some may or may not accept some types of cards. Many accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express, but many prefer cash. Each of the beverage stations and food concessions will accept cash and credit cards.
No, but there's a Bank of America only 0.5 miles (10 minute walk) and a Wells Fargo 1.2 miles away (4 minute drive).
Because safety is important to us, we will have qualified trained staff available on-site and the EMS services available from 911 if needed.
There is plenty of free parking available in the lots adjacent to the park.
Safety is always first.
If the weather poses a safety risk to patrons and participants, the Market will close and information will be announced on our Facebook page as well as this website.
If on the Thursday before a scheduled event, there’s a 50% or greater chance of thunderstorms for Saturday evening, event will be cancelled.
If we proceed with the event, but thunderstorms roll in and lightning is reported in the area, the event will be put on hold and patrons must seek shelter.
If 2 hours into the event, there are still reports of lightning, the event will be officially cancelled.
Got to have them! Portable toilets will be available throughout the Market area. There are also public restrooms up near the City Hall and Library. Just ask a volunteer; they can point them out for you.

Attendees are not permitted to carry weapons of any kind, including, without limitation, concealed or displayed firearms, or anything that may be construed as a weapon onto the premises of any Night Market event.

We have a form for that! Please go here to apply.

For Vendors
Please fill out the vendor application here.
Once your application is reviewed by the planning committee, you will receive an email response noting one of the following:
- Approved, please pay;
- Approved, but not for this next event;
- Not approved
If you receive the approval email, there will be a link within it that you will use to pay the amount due. Your business name, as it was entered in the application, will immediately appear on the home page of the website upon successful payment. If you entered a Facebook and/or Instagram URL, the respective icon will appear next to your business name.
10' x 10' is the standard, but you are welcome to upgrade to a 10' x 20' if you need it.
There is no contract, but we do ask that you pay the vendor fee 2 weeks prior so we can plan accordingly.
There will be an unloading area, and designated parking nearby.
Due to the logistics of the loading/unloading zone, we require the tented vendors to arrive before the food trucks. So that Night Market personnel can assist the vendors from the parking lot to their booth spaces, we will ask that the vendors choose an arrival time. When it is time for you to do so, you will receive an email with a link that will bring you back to the website. If none of the options listed work for you, please choose "other" and explain your circumstance.
Events held in March and November officially end at 10pm, whereas events held in April through October officially end at 11pm. Since we are not allowed to stay overnight, you'll need to clean up immediately after.
Not exactly. It is however strongly advised. We just want you to be protected! If you need help with insurance, click here.
Because Night Market is not run by a nonprofit, food vendors are required to obtain a "Fayette County Food Serving Permit." If you have additional questions, you may reach out to the County Health Inspector, Robert Kurbes, can be reached at (770) 305-5147.
Alcohol vendors will need a special permit through the City of Peachtree City, even if they already sell alcohol at their brick and mortar location. For more info, please contact Cathy Wilder, the Recreation Programs Manager, at 678-632-3558.
All other types of vendors do not need any special permits or licenses.
Safety is always first.
If on the Thursday before a scheduled event, there’s a 50% or greater chance of thunderstorms for Saturday evening, event will be cancelled.
If we proceed with the event, but thunderstorms roll in and lightning is reported in the area, the event will be put on hold and patrons must seek shelter.
If 2 hours into the event, there are still reports of lightning, the event will be officially cancelled.
We expect our vendors to plan ahead and come prepared with the appropriate equipment (tents, tarps, extra weights, ropes, etc) needed to protect their items be ready to vend regardless of the weather.
In the unlikely case where we have to cancel due to severe rain, wind, or lightning, or if the City closes the park, Night Market will forward any registration fees to a future market date. We unfortunately cannot issue any refunds.
If vendors do not want to even take the chance, they are entitled to reschedule, as long as they contact Night Market personnel more than 6 hours before the event is scheduled to begin.
