Over the past few years, it's been good to see organizations adding more night-time, outdoor activities for folks in Bangor to enjoy.

If last year's wildly successful Night Market along the Bangor Waterfront was any indication (the events were so popular, that they added dates throughout the summer) both residents of the city and visitors alike seemed to appreciate being able to stroll around the area, get a bite to eat from a food truck, browse the wares local artisans had for sale in their tents, and plain mingle outside when the weather was good.

Capitalizing on this fun, outdoor event, the 'Bass Part After Dark' event page on Facebook indicates that the Cross Insurance Center plans to introduce its own series of 'Night Markets' to the area, up by the race track.
