The San Francisco market combines an evening of food and cultural performances with a promotion that turns nearby business receipts into carnival game tickets.
All times are local to the venue · America/Los Angeles
A stop at a neighborhood shop can become part of the evening at Sunset Night Market. The December 11 event brings food vendors, makers and performances to Irving Street, while a separate receipt challenge encourages visitors to spend time at nearby businesses, too.
The Local Business Support Challenge reaches beyond the market’s Irving Street footprint. Spend at least $10 at a local brick-and-mortar business in the area from 19th to 27th Avenues and show the receipt to receive two free carnival game tickets for every $10 spent. The organizer also lists a bonus ticket for purchases at retail, grocery and professional-service businesses.
That makes a neighborhood errand or shopping stop a possible addition to the night out. The purchase is for the game-ticket promotion; it is not described as a condition of market admission.

Inspired by night markets in Asia, the event brings food vendors together with live entertainment, cultural performances and interactive activities. Artisan makers, small businesses and community artists are also part of the advertised mix, so visitors can plan to browse as well as eat.
Individual food vendors and performers have not been named in the event announcement. Check for updates if a particular dish or performance would determine your visit.

ASIAN, Inc. works in areas including business development and housing. Their broader work provides local context for the collaboration, rather than a list of activities promised at the market.
