Atlantic Station– Pinnacle Lot

Tickets here.

Midnight Market is an All Night Happy Hour for Foodies who love to eat, drink, & dance! Originally from NYC, the 21+ food fest will be popping up at Atlantic Station for two nights- June 10 & June 11. Atlanta is the first stop of their national tour of experiential 21 and over food festivals. Midnight Market brings together the fun of a night out with the deliciousness of a food festival. It is more than just a typical street fair, it’s a foodie nightlife event complete with DJ entertainment, activities, and a cocktail bar. In celebration of the Atlanta debut there will also be a roller skating rink on-site along with a pop-up artisan market experience.

Guests will be able to buy foods from local favorite vendors such as Adobo (Filipino American Cooking), NYC’s favorite vendor, Mozzarepas (Colombian sweet arepas), the Tillamook Ice Cream Truck, and so many more! There will also be pop-up bars provided by Alcohol Heroes where guests can enjoy delicious cocktails while they taste the world. The food vendors create a smaller portion of their regular menu items so guests can try a little bit of everything while the bar serves some menu items at happy hour pricing. Since 2016 the motto of Midnight
Market has always been “Small Bites for a Small Price,” and the founders feel strongly that this theme should continue especially while we come out of the pandemic.

“The theme of Midnight Market has always been to be fun, affordable and a great way for local businesses to thrive in their community. We started Midnight Market six years ago with the goal of uplifting vendors by providing a marketing platform that will allow them to interact with the locals. Now that we are slowly coming out of the pandemic, we knew that it was the most important time to bring events to major cities to unite communities with music, food, shopping and and a relaxed vibe.” – Perla Nieves, Co-Founder of
Midnight Market.
