The Night Market:

In the late hours of the night, creatures sensitive to the sun or otherwise hiding from mortals come out during the Crossing of Worlds to see the Night Market. A strange collection of esoteric wares, food, and stranger company.

With food, live music, and artisan stalls, it's a perfect way to wind down your day. It's open for all Weekend and Masked Ball ticket holders at no extra charge.
