night market
After-dark outdoor shopping
A night market is an open-air street market that operates in the evening and after dark, common throughout East and Southeast Asia.
Vendors sell food, clothing, and goods from temporary stalls, creating a lively atmosphere for shopping and eating: We wandered through the night market trying different skewers and dumplings.
The term sometimes applies to similar evening markets elsewhere.
