    "body_md": "The Anchorage Summer Night Market has returned for its 2026 season at a new location. Town Square Park in downtown Anchorage is under renovation, so organizers moved the weekly event to F Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues. The first market of the season ran last Friday.\n\nThe market remains free to attend, a key detail for Anchorage families and downtown regulars who have made it a summer tradition. Hours are 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. each Friday evening. The next market is scheduled for June 19, with additional dates continuing through the summer.\n\nThe format stays the same as in past seasons: local vendors, food trucks, live music, a kids zone, and a beer garden. Organizer Zaneta Stetsunova said the vendor lineup rotates every week so visitors see a fresh mix of booths rather than the same vendors each time.\n\nStetsunova said the goal is to reflect the diversity of Anchorage, and organizers are selective about which vendors get a spot. For anyone who hasn't visited since the market was at Town Square, organizers say it's worth checking out at the new F Street location.",
