Natsu Nights Enchanted Curio Market at Japanese Friendship Garden
Japanese Friendship Garden lists Natsu Nights: Enchanted Curio Market for Saturday, August 22, 2026 with $5 evening upper-garden hours and themed night market vendors in Balboa Park.

Japanese Friendship Garden & Museum lists Natsu Nights: Enchanted Curio Market for Saturday, August 22, 2026 as the August stop in its summer night-market series. Discounted evening admission is $5 for the upper garden from 5–9 p.m., with vendors on site into the evening.
The series keeps rotating themes after June’s Kawaii Trinketcore and July’s Crafty Cuties. August 22 also carries SAMAFEST at Balboa Park and TAP-SD’s Taiwan Festival at Liberty Station, so treat Natsu Nights as the after-hours garden lane rather than the only Asian culture plan that day.
When: August 22, 2026 (evening hours; $5 upper garden 5–9 p.m.)
Where: Japanese Friendship Garden, Balboa Park, San Diego, CA
