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.
Join us for the enchanting Night Market on Saturday and Sunday evenings, where the fun continues after the main fair closes. 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. And available on the door for a small fee to day ticket holders without a Masked Ball ticket.
