We are seeking a variety of vendors, including food vendors, food trucks, artisans, crafters, boutiques, specialty retailers, and community organizations to help create a vibrant marketplace experience for attendees of all ages.
Whether you're showcasing handmade goods, unique merchandise, or delicious cuisine, Lunada Night Market offers an excellent opportunity to promote your business, connect with the community, and be part of one of Brownsville's signature evening events.
Theme: Homecoming – Show Your School Spirit!

We encourage vendors to decorate their booths in the Homecoming theme by incorporating school colors, mascots, football spirit, or community pride. While themed decorations are optional, they help create an engaging and festive atmosphere for our guests.
