About Gulfport Merchants Chamber of Commerce

Gulfport’s recurring nighttime events. First Friday and third Saturday evening events will launch on Friday, February 7th, and Saturday, February 15th, 2025, as the Gulfport Night Market.

Formally known as Art Walk on the first Friday and IndieFaire on the third Saturday, these recurring monthly events will launch for 2025 branded as the Gulfport Night Market. The night market concept unites the energy of the former events, offering an evening marketplace experience with vibrant local offerings from local makers, artisans, and small business vendors to engage the community and visitors as they shop, stroll, and sip in beautiful downtown Gulfport.

The Gulfport Merchants Chamber is proud to partner with the Tampa Bay Markets team to work directly with new and returning vendors and to manage the Gulfport Night Market events. Tampa Bay Markets is a local events management company that operates 13 successful local markets and special events within the greater Tampa Bay Area, celebrating its 15th anniversary year of operation.

The Gulfport Night Market will operate year-round from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on the first Friday and third Saturday of each month.

The Gulfport Night Market primarily features vendors who make what they sell. Booking is open to local artists, makers, and a limited number of boutique-style businesses. Product categories include local art of all media, handcrafts, clothing, jewelry, pet products, and packaged artisan foods for take-home.
