Like them spicy? Our hot pepper eating contest just might be the challenge for you! From 6-7PM, contestants will compete for a cash prize by eating 10 types of hot peppers in front of a live audience. Read more and enter here to compete, if you dare!
As always, the Jazz Station will be fanning the Night Market flames with a free live concert by neo-soul power pop group BendreTheGiant! Catch their hottest jams from 7-9PM.
Beat the heat with another round of roller skating inside the Pavilion with Eugene Roller Village! Entry fees are $10, and skate rentals will be available.
Come skate, dance, taste, shop, and enjoy the night’s festivities from 5-9PM at the Farmers Market Pavilion, on September 18th. We can’t wait to see you there!
