# How to plan a Ramadan night market.

Plan a Ramadan night market around the calendar: pick weekend nights after iftar, leave flexibility for dates that depend on the moon sighting, recruit plenty of food vendors plus modest fashion, henna, gifts and kids' activities, and plan for families arriving at once in a short window.

## Work around iftar.

- Open shortly after iftar and run late; the first hour is the busiest.
- Eid bazaars often run in the days before Eid for gift and outfit shopping.
- Announce dates early, and tell vendors how you'll handle a shifted date.

## The mix families expect.

- Food first: dates, desserts, street food and drinks.
- Modest fashion, jewelry, home decor and gifts.
- Henna artists and kids' activities.
