About the event

Cities come alive at night, especially one home to a vibrant international community such as Greater Atlanta with a population of 5.6 million people representing over 75 countries (per the Metro Atlanta Chamber). We believe it’s time Atlanta had its own night market to showcase the foods, crafts, talents, customs, and people making Atlanta’s international community one of the greatest in the world. Inspired by vibrant outdoor markets popular throughout Europe and Asia, night markets are social outdoor events where food, retail, and educational vendors offer a variety of fresh, local street foods, arts & crafts, and other culturally-relevant and family-friendly fare. These roving festivals would highlight unique finds, foods, wares, and entertainment that could be found nowhere else during the day. Now you can experience this in Atlanta at the Atlanta International Night Market! AINM is so much more than just an event, it’s an extraordinary experience celebrating the community, culture, and creativity of Atlanta. With the authentic variety of sites and sounds, this event has something for everyone to enjoy. Join us in this exciting, 2-day celebration of diversity, community, culture, and creativity at the Atlanta International Night Market and TASTE THE WORLD! Estimated attendance for this event is 30,000 across the weekend. DETAILS: HOURS: 5pm-10pm on Friday & 2pm-10pm on Saturday. TICKETS: This is a FREE and non-ticketed event. FAQs: Please see our website for more details, atlnightmarket.org

As part of our mission to share and elevate international cultures, AINM is excited to bring back our International Village in 2024! The International Village is a fun, interactive educational area open to nonprofits for no fee. Approved nonprofits will receive a 15x15' space in the International Village section of the event, and are expected to offer 3 hands-on learning experiences, such as a 3-5 or 5-10 minute game, cultural craft, holiday tradition, etc. 
 
Participants are welcome to sell goods or commercially packaged foods as well other fundraising activities.  All booth materials must be supplied and set up by the nonprofit. Please remember that all political activities and speech are strictly prohibited.
 
A panel of judges will score International Village booths on the following criteria and award the top three nonprofits with money prizes up to $1,000: 1) Booth Display/Decorations, 2) Activities/Engagement, 3) Cultural Education.
 
Additionally, nonprofit organizations fully participating in the International Village may request reimbursements for booth activity supplies of up to $200. Receipts must be emailed to info@atlnightmarket.org up to 14 days post-event.
 
As event space is limited, applications will be considered based on previous experience, proposed activities, and availability. We strongly encourage interested nonprofits to send completed applications quickly as there are only 10 International Village spaces. We look forward to reviewing your application!
