The producers of the Inglewood Night Market are expanding this local street market to inner-city communities, such as Marda Loop and 4th Street this summer.
May, 2022 [ CALGARY, AB ] The producers of the Inglewood Night Market are expanding and launching a brand new Night Market in Marda Loop on June 24, 2022. The roster of inner-city night markets will now also include the Inglewood Night Market of course, and the 4th Street Night Market which made its debut last year during the summer of 2021.
To keep the brand and local essence that’s beloved in Inglewood, event-goers can expect a consistent experience when attending Marda Loop and 4th Street, while staying true to the vibrancy and culture of each individual neighbourhood.
Each of these markets are free community events and great for individuals, groups, couples, and families to attend - dogs are also always welcomed and encouraged. The format is a recognizable street-style market with over 60 local artists, makers and vendors lining the streets, local food trucks feeding hungry shoppers and a craft area onsite to engage young creators — all to the backdrop of some of Calgary’s best live musicians and entertainers.
“Over the years, the Inglewood Night Market has grown into a hub that attracts thousands of Calgarians and local businesses to the community of Inglewood on the second Friday of the month every summer. We’ve seen the impact of these markets first-hand, and while each will bring its own flavour, we’re looking to expand this night market concept to various neighbourhoods in Calgary’s inner-city,” says Jennifer Rempel, Night Market Event Producer.
Each market footprint is strategically positioned off of the main road of the community, on the edge of the business zone, but not quite in the residential area. This allows the market to engage the businesses in the community, while being easily accessible for the residents of the neighbourhood and beyond.
“We love to find interesting ways for people to explore communities, while still supporting local business,” says Rempel
The Marda Loop Night Market will take place along 34th Avenue between 18th and 19th Street SW surrounded by many well-known Marda Loop businesses, such as WOW Bakery and Cafe, the Clothing Bar Boutique, Marda Loop Brewing Company, and more.
The 4th Street Night Market will take place at the same location as last year in Mission along Elbow Drive between 4th and 5th Street SW overlooking the Elbow River.
Of course, the Inglewood Night Market will return to its original location on 10th Avenue between 10th and 11th Street SE - starting at Cafe Gravity and ending just before Cold Garden and Ol Beautiful Brewing Company.
The primary goal with these inner-city night markets is to not only engage the businesses that are already in the community, but to introduce smaller makers, artists and local brands to a new market of shoppers - while bringing their own flavour to the community itself. This mix of standalone brick-and-mortar shops and restaurants, mixed with local vendors and food trucks is what gives each market its own personality unique to the community in a similar shopping experience that Calgarians are used to in Inglewood.
“We engage with the surrounding business community to stay open late and enjoy a new customer base who may be exploring the area for the first time. For the markets we curate each one with a balance, to make the event feel like a sense of discovery for new artisanal products, delicious treats and hip vintage finds,” says Rempel.
Follow each market on social media for vendor updates, entertainment lineups, news and special announcements leading up to each event. We can’t wait to celebrate the summer with you and continue expanding into new communities each year!

COVID-19 Response UPDATE: Inglewood Night Market
April 13 [ CALGARY, AB ]
Dear Calgary,
Through recent events surrounding the COVID-19 virus, we have been forced to consider the possibility of what the future for the 2020 Inglewood Night Market will be. Due to the instructions of The City of Calgary and the Public Health Agency of Canada’s mass gathering risk assessment protocol we have made the decision to reschedule the June Night Market to a new date in July 2020 (TBD).
What does this mean?
For market attendees: As of right now, nothing about the market will be any different. Our team and board are closely monitoring the situation and staying cautiously optimistic that the Night Market will be able to proceed as usual on the rescheduled dates. We will continue to post updates on our website and our social media channels.
For Vendors + Entertainment: We will be in close contact with you to ensure the change of date is a quick and seamless process. Please keep an eye open for an email regarding the next steps on your end, along with any news and updates that we receive regarding this tragic situation in the meantime.
We realize the hardships that are a result of this pandemic and we want you to know we are doing our very best to ensure that we are making decisions with our health, safety, and the overall well-being of our city in mind. We’re committed to being both responsive and responsible as we navigate these times and do our part to support the local businesses, artisans, and makers who rely on festivals and shows such as this one to survive. Please continue to share these posts, stay current with the latest updates, and support local whenever possible. We couldn’t do what we do without you and we can’t wait to see this fear lifted and our city thriving once again!

COVID-19 Response: Inglewood Night Market
MARCH 14 [ CALGARY, AB ]
Dear Calgary,
Through recent events surrounding the COVID-19 virus, we have been forced to consider the possibility of what the future for the 2020 Inglewood Night Market will be. Currently, as it stands, Alberta is in a low-risk situation, but is taking extreme precautionary efforts to ensure the virus is contained and hopefully short-lived.
Please see Alberta’s latest public health advisories here.
Right now our team at Urban Production Group are closely monitoring the situation and staying cautiously optimistic that the Inglewood Night Market will be able to proceed as usual this summer. We have been in close communication with the City of Calgary and will be moving forward in the best possible manner to adhere to the Public Health Agency of Canada’s mass gathering risk assessment protocol. We will continue to plan the execution of this much-loved market, but will be making future decisions regarding how we will move forward once we have more information in the upcoming days.
Thank you Calgary for always being our biggest fans! We would not be able to continue to host the Inglewood Night Market if it wasn’t for your unwavering love and loyalty that you have shown us throughout the years. This international pandemic has hit every city on a local level harder than anyone could have planned for. It’s our mission through our events to always find ways to strengthen and rally behind local independent businesses, makers, and artisans – and that doesn’t stop now. Our local community needs us more than ever and any support you can offer truly makes a world of difference. Let’s gather together (metaphorically) and come out of this stronger than ever before!
