If you’ve been craving food that hits different after sunset, Toronto’s Underground Night Market is back for the season, and yes, it’s exactly the chaotic-good energy your summer needs. Hosted at Harbourfront Centre Commons, this weekly night market runs every Saturday from May 31 to July 26 and brings together street food, music, and indie shopping in one slick waterfront setup.
The vibe? Think neon lights, $10 plates, local DJs spinning in the background, and the smell of dumplings, birria tacos, and bubble waffles all in the same air. It’s the kind of scene where you show up for a bite and end up staying for hours just soaking it all in.
What makes this event even better is how easy it is to dive into. There’s no entry fee, and almost every food stall keeps pricing under $10. For Gen Z students and young professionals trying to romanticize their Saturday nights without torching their budget, it’s a dream.
But this isn’t just about the food. The market also features local creators, from handmade jewelry to vintage fashion finds. So you’re not just supporting small food businesses, you’re also backing Toronto’s creative community while snacking on hand-rolled sushi or sipping a matcha lemonade.
