A market built for the moonlight

“Dalbam” means “moonlit night” in Korean, and that’s the whole idea behind the Seoul Dalbam Night Market: line up the food stalls, start in the afternoon and let people graze into the evening. The Orlando Korea Culture Center is bringing it to Avalon Park on Saturday, Oct. 24, from 3 to 9 p.m.

Entry and parking are free, but the organizers ask everyone to reserve a free ticket on Eventbrite first.

What to eat

The food list is the reason to go hungry. Captain Jeong Kimbap is bringing its kimbap rolls, including bulgogi and tuna mayo. Korean Kitchen does Korean home cooking, Sunday Noodle has simple Korean dishes, and Bestie Thai Express is making stir-fried noodles and bao buns.

Beyond Korean food, look for Thai Bites and its Thai BBQ skewers, Grill N’ Roll with Filipino food, and Rock8 Food Fusion with Asian-style tacos, steam buns and dumplings. For dessert and drinks, there’s Korean-style bingsu from Snowy Juicy, candied-fruit tanghulu from Momoliciouz, brown sugar boba from Xing Fu Tang, ganache-stuffed madeleines from Belly Side Up, Thai-inspired ice cream from Termwaan Sweetory and fresh-pressed sugarcane juice from Fruity Cane.

What to do between bites

The merchandise side leans hard into K-pop and K-beauty: albums and photocards, fan-made keychains and pins, Korean skincare, a Korean-inspired women’s boutique, crochet plushies and T-shirts printed on the spot. In the afternoon, catch the random play dance from 3:30 to 4:45 p.m., the K-pop fan game where a song drops and anyone who knows the choreography jumps in. Live music sets run through the evening, starting at 5 p.m.

Why We’re Hyped

It’s free, it’s on the east side and it’s the kind of night out that’s mostly about eating your way down a row of food tents as the sun goes down. Kimbap, Thai skewers, bingsu and tanghulu in one lap is a pretty good Saturday.
