The Walkerville Distillery District Night Market has been cancelled for Friday night as the weather forecasts potential extreme weather.

“We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we are making this difficult decision to postpone due to the combination of lightning, thunderstorms, severe wind, and extreme heat, posing significant risks for the safety of our staff, attendees, and vendors,” said the event organizers.

“We understand and appreciate the preparation and effort our vendors go through in leading up to the WDD Night Market and hope the community still supports our local small businesses any way they can.”

The next night market is set for July 25. After that, one will be held on Aug. 29 and Sept. 26.
