The Convoy District hopes to capture that magic for San Diegans during San Diego Night Market at SDCCU Stadium. Saturday (4 p.m. - 12 a.m.) and Sunday (4 p.m. - 9 p.m.), the stadium expects 15,000 visitors hoping to experience that magic of bustling nighttime markets in big cities throughout Asia.
The market first launched in 2013 at Kearny Mesa's Zion Market, only expecting about 2,000 attendees. To their surprise, 10,000 people showed up and have helped turn the market into an annual event to show off San Diego's diverse culture and history.
