Gulfport is lit up with a brand-new after-dark shopping experience. Thanks to a new partnership between Tampa Bay Markets and the Gulfport Merchant’s Chamber of Commerce, the beloved nighttime events in the city are getting a fresh start in 2025 under a new name: the Gulfport Night Market.
The year’s first two events were held on February 7 and February 17. The next iteration is set for Friday, March 7, and March 15, running from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. each night at 2800 Beach Blvd South. Whether you’re a longtime Gulfport local or a curious visitor, these events offer a unique, lively marketplace atmosphere perfect for an evening out.

A celebration of Gulfport artists and makers under the stars
The Gulfport Night Market revives the spirit of the former Indie Faire (held on the first Friday of the month) and Artwalk (held on the third Saturday). However, it’s becoming a more cohesive, vibrant experience that blends the best of both events. Expect a wide range of local makers, artisans, and small business vendors offering everything from handmade art to clothing, jewelry, pet products, and delicious artisan foods to take home. There’s something for everyone!
Vendor spots are still available for those interested in joining the market. The Gulfport Night Market is looking for vendors who make what they sell, focusing on local art, handcrafts, and unique boutique products. If you’re a local artist, maker, or small business owner looking to showcase your goods, you can apply online here.
So, grab your friends, enjoy some local eats, and shop under the stars as Gulfport’s newest market brings the community together in a fun way. The Gulfport Night Market is not just a market; it’s a community event that will become a highlight for residents and visitors alike.
