Final Dublin Night Market Canceled Due To Rain, Possible Thunderstorms

DUBLIN, CA — The final Night Market of the year is canceled due to weather, the city of Dublin announced. The city expanded the number of Night Markets from three in 2025 to four in 2026, and Friday's event was supposed to feature food vendors, handmade goods, and live music.

A Level 2 storm is expected to bring heavy rain, winds of up to 40 mph, and possible lightning and thunderstorms, according to forecasters. The heaviest rain is expected between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. The rain is expected to subside Saturday and resume Sunday afternoon into Monday. A third storm is possible Wednesday.

The Tri-Valley could get up to 0.8 inches of rain, though the National Weather Service does not anticipate widespread flooding.

“Conditions like that could be unsafe for attendees, vendors, and staff,” the city said in a post. “This would have been the final market of the season, so we’ll have to wrap up 2026 a little early. A big thank you to the vendors, community partners, and residents who made this year’s night markets so much fun. The series will return in 2027!”

The city of Dublin offers free sandbags to residents and businesses at the City of Dublin Corporation Yard at 5709 Scarlett Court and the Alameda County Public Works Yard at 4825 Gleason Drive.
