Gulfport Night Market Celebrates Local Artisans Along Beach Boulevard

Evening Street markets in historic downtown Gulfport continue to shine as the Gulfport Night Market welcomes residents and visitors to stroll, shop, and support local creators along scenic Beach Boulevard. Taking place along the brick-paved waterfront district at 3000 Beach Blvd. S., the Gulfport Night Market takes place twice monthly on the first Friday and third Saturday of each month from 5pm to 9pm. Check out the market on Friday, October 2 and Saturday, October 17.

Formerly celebrated as the First Friday Art Walk and Third Saturday IndieFaire, the market unified under the Gulfport Night Market banner in late 2025 to deliver an engaging, vibrant evening experience spotlighting independent makers and community talent.

The Gulfport Merchants Chamber (GMC) partners with SIK Promotions, Inc. to coordinate vendor relations, logistics, and event management for the series. SIK Promotions brings over a decade and a half of dedicated experience in community festival production across Tampa Bay, championing independent artists, small businesses, and local non-profits through well-curated street markets.

Fine Art & Crafts: Original artwork across all media, handcrafted goods, and functional art
Wearable Art & Accessories: Handcrafted jewelry, custom apparel, and textiles
