Live music + food trucks = Friday Night Sound Bites

Starting April 28, the Lenexa Public Market’s Friday Night Sound Bites series is coming back for the outdoor season! Join us for free, live music and rotating, local food trucks on the patio every Friday night from 7 to 10 p.m. April 28-October 27 on the Lower Commons. 

Food and drinks are available for purchase from the Public Market merchants and guest food trucks outside. Patio seating is available, but we encourage BYOC—bring your own chair.

Outside alcohol is not allowed. You may purchase alcoholic beverages from Public Market merchants.

No tickets necessary. Come and go or stay until close. Grab a friend, get some grub and groove into the weekend.
