Night Market starts at 9:00 PM to 2:00 AM. There is no charge upon your arrival although you may see a long line. Make sure you wear a face mask at all times. It is just based on your own if you want too or not.

Just say you're going to line up for an opening of a concert this is how the world looks going to the Baguio Night Market off from Harrisson Road near Burham Park.

If you don't mind shopping and wearing secondhand clothing night market is for you. They also provide brand new clothing from jacket, hoodies, shirts, pants and any type of clothes you can think of just make sure bring cash with you.

It is easier if you bring eco bags with you since every stall will just place it inside a plastic bag without any handles.
