ESSENTIAL EVENT // This Sunday: The Brooklyn Night Bazaar Lights Up The Dekalb Market

On Sunday, October 9, the Dekalb Market in Downtown Brooklyn will host the Brooklyn Night Bazaar. Inspired by the night markets that are popular across Asia, the event has everything you'll need to enjoy your the Columbus Day weekend. "These are fun gathering places for locals and travelers to eat, drink shop and check out performances all in an animated setting," says the bazaar's organizer, Aaron Broudo. "The Brooklyn Night Bazaar will provide a uniquely Brooklyn version of this great tradition."

In addition to Dekalb Market's regular merchants, the bazaar will include dozens of other vendors, from Eagle Street Rooftop Farm and Luke's Lobster to Bags for the People and The Temporary Tattoo Project. And, of course, don't forget to check out 3rd Ward's SHOPBOX! There will also be a beer and wine garden serving up local brews from Brooklyn Brewery, Long Island's Blue Point Brewing Company, Cooperstown's Brewery Ommegang and Brooklyn Winery.

Portland's YACHT and Brooklyn's own Monogold and Trouble Andrew will kick out the jams, and there will be light and sculpture installation by Brooklyn artist and designer Jason Krugman. You'll even be able to enjoy a friendly game of Pétanque!

The bazaar will be open from 5pm until midnight this Sunday and it's free, except for the live music—grab tickets for that here.

Check out a few videos of Jason Krugman's amazing light sculptures after the jump.
