Night Market Festival Relocates to Soccer Ball Plaza in Atlanta

The Night Market festival has moved to Soccer Ball Plaza in front of Gate 1 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium for its Global Tastemakers Edition. This event, which usually takes place on the 11-acre greenspace known as The Home Depot Backyard, is being held temporarily while the space undergoes post-World Cup site enhancements.

The festival features a diverse lineup of food vendors, including Jimmie's Jerk BBQ, Desta's Ethiopian Kitchen and Tamalion Tamales. Beverage partners include Creature Comforts Brewing, Tito's Handmade Vodka and Atlanta Hard Cider, among others.

Entry-only tickets remain free, but food and beverage packages are also available for purchase. The event promises a passport-free journey through international flavors and culture, drawing on Atlanta's history of hosting global moments like the 1996 Summer Olympics and this year's FIFA World Cup.
