Englewood Night Market: A Block Party Unlike Any Other is Tuesday, July 15

Participate in a unique event on Tuesday, July 15 from 5 to 11 p.m. Englewood Night Market will turn Englewood, New Jersey’s East Palisade Avenue into a pedestrian-only area for one evening. Produced by Exposure, the event will feature food sampling from area restaurants, live music, an outdoor beer and sangria bar and family activities provided by local non-profit organizations and area businesses.

“This will be a perfect opportunity for people to discover that Englewood has great restaurants and stores, as well as the performing arts center, bergenPAC. Hopefully, people will come to Englewood, enjoy the night and plan on returning again to our city,” Englewood Mayor Frank Huttle III said of the event that is supported by the City of Englewood, Englewood Economic Development Corp. and the Englewood Chamber of Commerce.

Admission is free and attendees may purchase food tickets in advance or at the Exposure Tent at the event. Redeem the $5 food tickets to sample dishes from the participating food establishments. Tableware is being provided courtesy of ShopRite of Englewood.
